It's a strawman besmirching niche knowledge for methodology. The two aren't mutex and shouldn't be competitors. Bloom filters are really trivial to implement and are great examples of time/space tradeoffs, and are useful mostly for checking if a key isn't a member of an otherwise expensive lookup operation and so can be avoided early.

What's more concerning is "engineers" incurious about how lower levels of the stack work, or aren't interested in learning breadth, depth, or new things.
