Don't care and I am guessing you didn't read the article. Ignorance of the DOM does not redefine what it is. This is just as true for jQuery stupidity as it is for React virtual DOM nonsense. Fortunately, the DOM is defined in a standard specification so there is a document of truth that you can go read.
> In short - the DOM was often used to store state. And this just isn't a very efficient approach.
Again, don't care. Other people's misuse and stupidity is their problem. That stupidity does not alter the technology specification.

If you really want to know what the DOM is I wrote a very brief summary with links to the specifications: https://prettydiff.com/2/guide/unrelated_dom.xhtml
