But one of the goals of GMO was to reduce the amount of pesticide used
by allowing plants to make their own pesticides.

The fundamental flaw of the article is that it ignores that there are
far more hungry mouths to feed than can be filled by a few small-scale
growers. This is like the Titanic's first-class passengers' thinking
there are plenty of lifeboats -- for them. But what of the second- and
third-class passengers? Further, even if all our food came from
smallholders, most people just want to be able to go to the store and
pick up a dozen eggs -- they do not prize knowing the name of the
chicken who laid them. They would see people who do care as freakish,
obsessed with what they put in their mouths.
