I think this comment is a bit hyperbolic - it's really not so bad. Sure, we need to be mindful about accessibility in our rollout of useful technology. But I think the advantages that technologies, including the ones you listed above, bring into our lives far significantly outweigh whatever you are complaining about.
To your points specifically, I mostly see that you are complaining about technology you were previously used to (RFID cards, parking payment systems, public transit, school management systems, etc.) being replaced by more advanced technology (QR codes, 2FA, etc.). So, I don't see the problem as decoupling technology from lives but as enabling a smoother transition to more reliable and advanced technology.
The article makes other points about addiction, etc., and this is a problem that is not innate to technology but to human behavior that is exploited (knowingly or unknowingly) by profit-driven companies. Targeting the technology itself in this situation, again, is being lazy in my opinion.
