As any data processing device without encrypted storage 
The article does not show how hard it is to break into an OpenWrt router. For example, they could run any penetration tool and show how OpenWrt resisted all attempts.
The article shows how easy it is to break into an OpenWrt device, once you can lay your hands on it and connect by serial.
So, the title of this post may have been interpreted as ironic, and hence the "clickbait" complaint. I think this is just a misunderstanding.
