Static API tokens ARE the alternative. He's saying oauth is not worth the complexity, and increase the barrier to entry to using his API.
Static API keys are not a new or customer solution, they are the baseline. He's saying stay at the baseline, oauth is not worth it.
This is a nice quick read with some practical advice learned through read world experience. Thanks for sharing.
