Notice how they didn't say to put it in the same commit. The real issue, and why refactor as you go isn't done as much, is the overhead of splitting changes that touch the same code into different commits without disrupting your workflow. It's not as easy as it should be to support this strategy.

I think you're talking about a different topic unrelated to the linked article. In the linked article the LLM doesn't split it into several commits. If LLM had a button to split the bug fix and the overall refactoring, the author wouldn't complain and we wouldn't see this article.
