Yes, for sure. But neither he nor proprietary software vendors have to do that (i.e. they don't care about something that commands very little market, if any). They only need to support a handful of RPM based distros, for which they can usually have a SINGLE spec file which will build against any of these distros.
Bottom line, the author of the article is greatly exaggerating the difficulty of supporting more than one distro.
