As an ex-academic, I also feel intensely the author's sense that leftist academia bears a lot of responsibility for the absolute wasteland that North American political discourse has become—the environment where Peterson became a superstar.

Peterson's obscurantism is no worse than what is the standard style for critical theory. Humanities scholars have wasted decades on pointless studies of people who are essentially the Continental leftist equivalents of Jordan Peterson.

Peterson interfaces well with the general public, and that's a condition of his success. Compare with the utterly useless Foucault scholars, cloistered away, doing nothing whatsoever to educate the pubic about inequality or injustice.
