Uuh… skipping over the fact that this is a pointless article, didn’t Asimov himself write the three laws specifically to show it’s a very stupid idea to think a human could cover all possible contingencies through three smart-sounding phrases?
That was his general topic through many of his stories. The three laws were quite similar to former slavery laws of Usa. With this analogy he worked on the question if robots are nearly like humans, and if they are even indistinguishable from humans: Would/should they still stay our servants then?

Most of the stories are about how the laws don’t work and how to circumvent them, yes.
Most peope never read Asimov and it shows.
I dont think reading Asimov would help for most people. I think most people will just not get the point of anything unless you spell it out
Critical thinking is indeed dead for much of the population.
Asimov had quite a different idea.
What if robots become like humans some day?
