"CAN bus needs to be replaced; working with a standard IP stack, instead, means not having to reinvent the wheel."

I don't think that's as silly as you're claiming: yes, taken literally that's mixing up layers, but I'd say the author is making the point that CAN is not a suitable layer 2 for running IP over (you could probably make it work, but it'd have to be pretty horrible given the frame length limits) so to use an IP stack you'd need to replace CAN.
