I don't know how you came that conclusion. But instead of trying to dissect the article I'll just post the following twitter conversation with one of the men in charge of Star Wars canon:

@A_Targaryen 6 Jan

@HolocronKeeper will the new Marvel Star Wars comics be considered canon or they could still be contradicted by the movies and tv shows?

@HolocronKeeper 6 Jan

@A_Targaryen Story Group has a hand in all facets of Star Wars storytelling, including movies, TV, games, and publishing.

@12MG12 6 Jan

@HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent Are you implying that the goal is to dispose of the hierarchy and have one cohesive canon?

@HolocronKeeper 6 Jan

@12MG12 @StephenVincent That's definitely a primary goal of the Story Group.

ffs. The EU is just glorified fanfic. They should just put out the licenses and let people write what they will. because of LFL's tremendous missteps with this franchise, I already, (and I bet I'm not alone,) determine what is "canon" to me.*

*Which is why Splinter is a fever dream Luke has after conking his head on an overhang after battling Vader in the cave on Dagobah and is therefore included in my canon.
