That article is about a particular implementation of toggle switches that makes a number of usability mistakes. He contrasts that implementation with iOS' implementation, and highlights how the iOS version avoids these mistakes.

The buttons linked follow the example from iOS and avoid the mistakes he talks about.



Even on iOS I sometimes wondered if the "Off" word means that it is offline or will be offline after the toggle.


Except that you can't do the 'drag' style toggle on mobile devices. But if they had that, I'd agree with you.


android 4+ has drag style toggles that also respond to a tap like ios in addition to actually being draggable
