I think the writer doesn’t give enough credit to those who’ve thought about preparing but haven’t done much.

Someone who has at least thought about the eventuality and done some research is still miles ahead of someone who refuses to admit there are problems.

And, some people have things that need to be dealt with first, or issues that prevent them from prepping right now. Personally, I had health issues that kept me trapped in a wheelchair for 3 years, and am currently without a job due to other medical issues. But I did a lot of planning and scheming during that time in the chair, so now I at least know where I'm going, and have been getting stuff done as I'm able to.
(2 years of being able to walk again, woohoo!)

"those who’ve thought about preparing but haven’t done much."

That was me last year. Having said that, I'm sometimes amazed at just how much I have done in a year.
Then I think about how much more I would like to do, can afford to do...
And just how much I have done that wasnt really that expensive, just needed to look at the 'problem' from a different angle,
and figure out how to do it 'on the cheap'...
Just going by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as regards the physiological part :)
