Ill-conceived accessories are nothing new. Even back in the 1890s, inventors were churning gadgets of every description, hoping to make riding SO much
better! (Oh, and rake in a few bucks.)

But from that article: "Maybe what's really needed is a course in improving real-world bike skills..."

Gosh, what an idea! You mean people don't automatically know the best way
to ride a bike?

I remember reading a book back in the 1980s about bicycling in traffic. That author recommended riding so that when you looked at the right edge of your handlebar whilst riding the edge of the handlebar would be at the curb. Many people over the years ahave given wrong advice. When is comes to decent lighting, some still give very bad advice ie, flashlight like beam patterns.
