I agree a turboprop is eficient it's actually more modern than people think and it's even used by the Canadian Air Force as a trainer for those event she getting into the F-18 Hornet Jets. Using a turboprop for coin is a poor man's warthog.

Who is disrespecting them?

Only plane that I've heard disrespected was the Mitsubishi MU-2 --- cause it was a pig to fly
Not because it was a turbo

The author point is that some USAF leaders are having difficulty wrapping their heads around a modern combat aircraft without a turbojet.

Oh, nothing new --- the Macho Factor for Latest and Greatest.
Recip and Turbo considered Retro to modernists.
They look for ego inflation rather than pragmatism
Gotcha
