I am somewhat confused about the definition of Algorithms under the article's context.

What is this Algorithm we are talking about? Is it about basic data structures? If that is what we talk about, I feel at least from like 15 years ago, people already giving up writing those things from scratch for new projects.

I agree encapsulation is growing. As developers we are in a reality that we lose more and more predictability over the behavior of our code.

But that seems to create more demand for nuanced solution to reign the complexity, since commoditized algorithm created this problem, not solving it.
