I saw this article a little while ago and didn't put much thought into it.
Makes sense to an extent. Swings are the foundational movement wrt to KB work.
I like doing snatches, but I've also had some instruction, and am pretty careful not to tear up my hands or bang my forearms once fatigue sets in. I see this article being analogous to the somewhat common PL argument for not doing the DL much. No reason to put so much into a lift that can take so much away if you can get improvement from other lifts and movements.
And if you don't think kettleball squat cleans are difficult, I say, step up to the med-ball
