It was great that the article specifically stated that Kodi itself is legal but the pirate addons that infringe copyright holders are illegal!

No. It didn't.


"The media players themselves are perfectly legal, and the Kodi software is too, but when these are loaded with pirate add-ons, legal issues arise."

And?
Point to the bit that specifically says 'the pirate addons that infringe copyright holders are illegal.'

That isn't me being pedantic. The two statements don't mean the same thing.
