"Soft Skills" are very important, indeed - it can make you more marketable and a much better team mate to work with.

Data Structures and Algorithms are something that can be learned on a need-to-know basis. Most Web Developers - especially front-end devs, which this article was targeted at (new ones at that) - can go an entire, successful, career without knowing anything in-depth about them, frankly. So I don't think they are "foundational knowledge" points that should gate-keep people out of the developer space.
