One thing became painfully clear at the recently held Intel Developer Forum, at which PCI Express was probably among the hottest topics on the agenda: PCI Express is going to be hard to sell to the consumers. Consequently, the biggest question was "How do I convince the consumer he/she needs this technology?" One could have almost gotten the impression that the experts assembled there were desperately searching for any argument in favor of PCI Express - at least for the graphics sector. Finally, the marketing experts singled out their new favorite killer application: real-time HDTV video editing. According to their (un)conventional wisdom, this is the application that will make consumers ditch their current motherboard and graphics card and trade them in for PCI Express components...
Not likely!

That comes VERBATIM from the same article YOU QUOTED!
SLI is an intriguing future technology, but I don't know many people who would pay the price of 2 high end video cards just to take advantage of it.
Except of course Intel/AMD/Windows
"ZEALOTS" who have nothing better to do than to post nonsensical, almost completely misspelt, self-contradicting, illogical rants on Mac boards because they're insecure about the computer that they purchased.
Come to think of it, maybe I do know someone.
