"As it turns out, this may not even be the worst problem. The standard WordPress configuration is built on the LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) system, which has been obsolete for more than a decade. The problem with LAMP is that it doesn't scale."
Saying LAMP is obsolete is quite a silly statement. But either way, what does that have to do with the security of WordPress?
I host a WordPress blog in a $20 DO box and load time is about a second for a typical post (measured with tools.pingdom.com). This is a blog with more than 50.000 visits / month. NGINX, not Apache, but still.
