Linux was initially built so the pre-existing GNU and BSD userland utilities could run on cheap hardware; the shells came first.

He's only saying there's a mismatch between the title and text. Usually the fix is to rewrite the title, not the text.

Yeah. A better title would have been "A history of the shells that are available in Linux."

"A history of a few of the shells that are available in Linux", but not zsh.
