What's described is very much like what a sysadmin was in the 90's, prior to more specialized roles.

But yes. The devops movement is actually here to bring the 90s back when we didnt specialize to an extent where silos are created and the gaps between teams get in the way

it never left. you've just been blissfully unaware of it, and now that you've discovered it, you think it is new for everyone.
everything in this article is what I do as a sysadmin.
part of being a sysadmin is practicing devops. not the other way around

#8I particularly agree with the scripting nature of the role. I’ve played a major part at my company using many of the tools you mention to set up IaC/CICD/etc. However, day-to-day I’m in script land, which is where I want to be really.

#9Now with the advent of software such as Rundeck, the majority of tasks and automation can be consolidated into a singular control panel. Now I focus more on project based work and reduce time fumbling with random annoying tickets.
It makes it more manageable to juggle the diverse work we are responsible for in a "DevOps" role.

Like it or not, vernacular changes. Today, in most contexts, "sysadmin" suggests (at worst) a Windows pusher armed with a mouse and (at best) a heads-down computer toucher (which is also what this "devops consultant" document seems to outline, really, so you're not wrong!).
You're totally right in that sysadmins can certainly practice (part of) devops, but anywhere I've ever gone it's less the rule then the exception and "sysadmin" is a career-limiting classification, akin to calling oneself a programmer [0]. Ends, not means, etc.
