I think they may have confused some terms here. Among my peers in engineering it's quite common to take a few months between jobs to travel or relax. They usually call it funemployment. I totally get why one would want to take a longer break assuming you have sufficient savings before you quit. What this article seems to be describing is just unpaid vacation because we don't have real vacation policies in the US.
