I believe the article, in the very narrow thing it actually claims, which is that the starches that come off of rice in washing don’t matter much in how sticky the rice is. That’s mostly down to what kind of rice you’re using. Short grain is stickier, longer grains are not.
I’m still 100% going to wash my rice because I don’t want to deal with the cleanup on that extra starch, it gets everywhere. And while I haven’t had bugs in my rice for a while, it happens sometimes.
The article does seem to accurately portray the findings of the peer reviewed research that it links to. Not saying that it’s infallible, but probably worth considering.
I 100% don’t believe this article.

100% blatant bullshit, painfully obvious to everyone who’s ever cooked rice and tried to cut that specific corner.
