Agreed. A senior engineer should know when they don't understand something and keep an open mind about it rather than rejecting it outright.
If this article started with legitimate reasons for not wanting to adopt TS it would be different. "It is hard for people to learn" is actually a legit reason but "I don't understand it" is probably not!
That doesn't imply all new things are good or that senior engineers need to understand all new things either. I think there is some confusion about this.
Skepticism !== reject everything without grokking.
