The point is that it’s not commonly internalized to the point where someone will correctly use DAG as a synonym for “universe”.
All that I see in the quote is that the DAG is taken to determine what happens to you in some unanalyzed sense. You often hear similar statements saying that the cold equations of physics determine your fate, but the speaker is not necessarily thinking of “equations of physics” as synonymous with “universe”.
