Are people here reading the article comfortable sharing it, or similar articles, with their teams? I can't do it, and i'm not really sure why.

No I'm not. Because the people who need this mentality shift are also people who won't listen anyway and have a negative attitude. And the people who already understand this don't need to see this article.

This article resonates with me a lot, but as a senior engineer I would not share it in a big team setting. Even though it's correct, it's too cynical for big team morale. I think it would be worth sharing with peers or managers when discussing whether and how to intervene on a bad project.
