You're entitled to your opinion of course but the description of
"modern" boat building methods is quite accurate and the pictures
speak for themselves.

Pascoe may be opinionated and outspoken but he is also a well
respected marine professional with a great deal of experience.

Even with sailboats, the older cored hull boats ( 10 years), have an
abysmal record of durability. Case in point: Twenty years ago the
J-35 was an incredibly popular boat. Take a look around now at how
many are still sailing. My guess is that the insurance companies have
cracked down and are refusing to repair or take them on. Major core
repairs typically cost more than the market value of the boat and the
whole thing ends up in a dumpster.
