As the comments in that thread make clear - European companies already offer similar devices that work over Bluetooth or lightning and support chip+pin cards.
As usual, Apple does something, and people lost their shit in a frenzy of fud.
Notice that many of the comments pointing out just how ridiculous that post is are being buried.
Square has been de-emphasizing their swipe reader for a while now after they released their Apple Pay/chip card reader. I think the others are moving the same way finally.
Or, like hundreds of buried comments point out.. use the adapter.
