The modules one isn't necessarily true. I'm seeing a lot of Angular devs keep things under one module (esp for libraries). I don't think the value of multiple modules has really been realized. Exs: we do this for Angular Material and Ionic.

Hey I'm the author of the article. I created a library of modules that were reused across single page apps. For individual libraries I agree it doesn't make sense, but not enough people take advantage of the module system

At the moment breaking a monolithic app into modules has little benefit, but is theoretically a beneficial practice to take advantage of future Angular features. I'm speculating but my guess would be some sort of lazy-loading system will be implemented.

I can't find the exact article I read where the authors discussed this, but I did find a presentation by Brian Ford[1] that touches on the subject.
