Yeah, sposebly, the youngins are intimidated when you end a sentence with a period.
Young people are intimidated by full stops because they seem like a sign of anger in social media messages, linguistics experts have claimed.
(A 'full stop' is British for that dot at the end of a sentence. Sorta like when they say 'half-litre' they really mean a 16 ounce pint with a little room for the head.)
I'm gonna throw a flag on the play. This article doesn't really mean what it appears to mean. That folks should be sensitive of Gen Z and stop using periods.
No, this article was written by a gramma nazi, appalled at the awful grammar in social media. They are hoping folks will get defensive and contrary and insist on always using a period. It could backfire on them... And folks will start over-using the simplest punktuation mark... And. that. would. be. awful..........

WTF!?!
Period is the marker for the end of a sentence.
No more, no less.
Seems like the SJWs have issues and need every
nano-aggression their weak minds perceive!
Full stop end of sentence is period.
Exclamation and possible anger is the one with the point!
They need to read a copy of Strunk and White on style.
Eck!
