Many people have high cholesterol due to genetics. In these cases even if you ate a 100% perfect diet it would only impact 25% of your cholesterol levels - which any physician would not be satisfied with.

You wouldn't tell someone with diabetes or asthma to just live healthier and avoid their medication. There's nothing wrong with taking a pill, we're not cavemen living off the land.

you didn't read the article did you? Or are you actually here to claim that people with hypercholesterolemia just need to eat better?

Do you have the same simplistic ideas about GLP-1's?

You will still die you know, no matter your diet. And no god will reward your righteous corpse for eating healthy.
