I think a lot of people are misunderstanding

The article mentions romance, but that's not the main thrust. His major concern is that Gandalf is shown being needy. And needy toward, of all people, an elf. Gandalf may be unsure of himself from time to time, but if so, he doesn't show it (except perhaps through nervous pacing and a short temper). And if he ever did let his defenses down and pour his heart out to someone, he would not choose an elf. He's a mair and outranks elves considerably.
And I share the author's general annoyance with these authors' reluctance to let characters be strong.
