Reflecting on your comment six months later, I think even though the criticism is valid, it completely misses the main point of the post. It wasn’t written to discuss the differences in strategic choices between playing zero and non-zero-sum games, but the ingrained conflict of interests between different players in life and the fact that winning in zero-sum/negative-sum games is just as crucial for happiness and survival as the nicer-to-talk-about cooperation in positive-sum games, and that it’s insincere to claim otherwise.
