"The widespread availability of faster DDR4 memory now makes it generally pointless to look at speeds much below 3,000MHz."

The difference in performance, other than in memory benchmarks, is so small compared to the Crucial 2400MHz ram, it seems pointless to spend the extra money on the faster RAM.

If the faster RAM were more expensive that would be true, but as mentioned in the article the 4 module 2400MHz kit is no cheaper than the 2 module 3000MHz kit. If you're looking at the same cost, then a faster 2-module kit make inherent sense compared to a slower 4-module kit.
