I have a relative like that. Now that my wife barely cares about what I have to say, I’ve realised how My mom is different. When I was a child, She would share anecdotes from her daily life, involving coworkers and stuff. And she would ask me and remember my questions.

I bet that had a sought impact on my language development.

It's an interesting question. Maybe a parent that monopolize the conversation impact negatively.

As for your experience, keep in mind that with statistics comes distribution of outcomes, you could be on that small % where things didn't work as observed in the article.

my mom is like this too and i have a really strong negative reaction towards anyone who dominates a conversation or talks too much as a result
