I recorn part of the reason such advice is given is that while people get concerned in actually making it they lose sight on how optimal the goal was. That might very well be correct “first things first”, but when given opportunity to equip other people they might assume they will go througth the “ordinary steps” and give ingredients, “extraordinary steps” that they would take if they were to start the process again. However they don’t think how much their advice reduces or replaces doing common sense things while it could be reasonable if done in addition. However the “correct” advice: “make it” is no advice at all.
It might also be common to make the mistake of hoping based on possibilities rather than discovering values and then working a way to realise them. You might end up with a respectable role that you in particular don’t like. As you build a life it would be good to check that you bother to live it. This need not be a culmination of dreams but rather recognising that life may cater to more cost-efficiently to you if you remember to fit your solution to your subject rather than relying overtly on intersubjective criteria. Intership at a compatible industry vs a job at a generic job might result in the “dream choice” advice to shoot down your expectations.
It can also be contrued to mean “the average job fits no-one, the sooner you get customising the better you will blend in and less time spent pursuing no direction”.
Seem the article is directed towards a quite spesific intetion / understanding of the advice.

Yeah, I agree that there are situations where “follow your dreams” is good advice. The post just tries to argue that it’s often bad advice when it refers to highly competitive areas, where average performance doesn’t pay.
