We all are. It's just to different degrees and how we harness it - ie attributes such as self pride/confidence (positive narcissism) vs arrogance/grandiose (negative).

Narcissism is getting a more bad rep due to today's over sharing platforms (and for valid reasons), but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss/defend from the label.

You may not notice it, but outsiders can see it more easily (ie: headshot taking half the page). I notice you even took the time to shop in an artificial background for your headshot. Just these lil bits that add up.

As for the article content, I'm surprised you went for a UX breakdown without using the product (or do you have beta access?) Visually I like the redesign, but not knowing how the menus work, actually using the product and knowing that the announcment page is full of carefully curated photos, it's hard for me to comment and compare.

Edit: OP said wasn't shopped - I stand corrected.

Well thought out and I partly agree. The background actually isn't photoshopped. There was a blue curtain at a career fair booth.

My analysis is purely from the shots and common behavior patterns among other web apps.
