Funny to see this on a website that uses GTM.
I see where you coming from but I don't think this is hypocritical. This article is claiming that Google's control of the primary client is allowing Google to control the web. Using GTM gives Google no control over the web, maybe more visibility, but no control.
If the argument was "Don't use Chrome, it lets Google track you" then I think GTM would be hypocritical, but tracking was one of the outcomes described, not the root cause they are arguing against.
