I can't help thinking such article with similar "there is something better now, so it's meh" tone can be written for most types, because we arrived at a point where everyone can have any strong Pokémon of all types ready and all powered up, after all those events and raid bosses. There will always become stronger ones available for a given role.
The new thing is that since summer 2017 you get the stronger ones handed out like candy instead of having to scramble for months. Something is rare? Well now you have rare candy - at least city dwellers.
I feel it would be more useful to have a story giving an overview of all types, where their Pokémon scale (attack, short-term defense, long-term defense, resistances), see their rarity, and what is missing.
This game needs to make things a little more complex to be interesting again.
You can't expect much from a game when:
1. People get 5 or 6 Mewtwo in a row while expert players like me get exactly 0
2. You can throw very well against some really difficult to catch pokemon such as Dragonite, get gold razz and ultra curveballs going and they pretty much flee after 2 shakes
3. Playerbase is trapped in an infinite cycle of salt and toxicity.
Give up; There is no use, no hope, nowhere to hide.
"3. Playerbase is trapped in an infinite cycle of salt and toxicity.

Well, one way to help end the 'infinite cycle of salt and toxicity' is to no longer perpetuate it. There is hope, one doesn't need to hide. It's a game, just have some fun. You've been unlucky with Mewtwo, but that could change soon, and I'm sure they will change the nature of EX raids eventually, or at least take Mewtwo out of them.
And with the throws, sure, there's luck and randomness in that too. I stumbled on a 29xx Dragonite in the wild last fall, hit it with a golden razz, threw a ultra ball and got a great hit, and it stayed in. Sometimes they get out, and sometimes they flee. Keep trying.
I mean i know how to select High IV and High CP Pokemon, I can solo some tier 3 raids, I can consistently throw greats and excellents and curveballs, I know where to find pokemon and most importantly i know how the metagame in pokemon go works.
That said, there is no metagame save for exploiting weaknesses because of the simple combat system, and they likely won't improve it so the expert definition has a limit.
