I'm not sure who the fiction for Dragon was ever really marketed toward (aside from specifically gamers rather than general fantasy readers)--but he's looking at the fiction part like a fiction market. And if you're creating your own unique material, I'm inclined to think he's right--work-for-hire isn't the best option. If I'm writing in WotC IP, that's a different story.
I also find it irritating that the small but vocal people irritated with fiction could get it removed. With an online magazine, it's not like you have to click the fiction links if you don't want to.
