What this page doesn't mention is 301 or 302 redirects. I think SEO has made "URLs staying live" more of a normie concern than it was at the time. And WordPress etc ship with inbuilt redirects upon slug rename
So to a large extent this has been mitigated and not using the suggestion here, which is to a priori create a permanent URL ontology upfront
That said eventually neglect via reorgs or simply websites going offline still happens
