The author seems to have defined all patents owned by patent trolls as "bad patents" while in reality a bad patent is one that should not have been granted in the first place. Patent trolls definitely own "good patents" as well and don't realize any advantage by purposely seeking out invalid patents to enforce.
Otherwise, interesting that the office seems to believe the number of IPRs requiring determination are too high? Wonder how relevant the post-covid backlog was to this decision
