Let's just rewrite this article in a short paragraph and make it better advice:

"Don't use UUIDs as your primary key in RDMBS, use auto incrementing integers. Do not expose auto incrementing integers to users because it is a security risk. Use UUIDS as unique indexes for ids exposed to users, and auto incrementing integers for those used for relational lookups."
