I think that's a pretty reasonable article tbh.
It doesn't 'advise that the "fully loaded boxes" are illegal' though. You've misread it.

It's reasonable in that it explains that the Kodi itself is legal but it's drawing attention (and basically providing advice) on the streaming issues.

They've provided quotes from the director general of FACT advising that the boxes with the add-ons are illegal: ""Set-top boxes loaded with apps and add-ons allowing access to copyright infringing material are very much illegal "

Thanks, I read it.
As I said, the article doesn't 'advise that the "fully loaded boxes" are illegal' though. You've still misread it.

Thanks, he hasn't misread it.

"Fully loaded box" = "Set-top boxes loaded with apps and add-ons allowing access to copyright infringing material"

Which the quote from Kieron Sharp states are illegal.
