There is a big difference between canceling all sound around you, creating an unnatural environment, and canceling out background noise so that you can hear your music better.
I have spent a lot of time with acoustic room treatment for recording studios. If you put up too much treatment in the room it feels uncomfortable to be in it. The ANC it self is not messing with your ears/brain, it is physically stoping the sound from reaching your ears.
My experience with ANC is that it helps lose your self in the music, you get to experience it as it was intended. If you were to sit in a quiet room with regular headphones, it would be the same as sitting on a busy train with ANC.
I find it suspicious that the article uses examples of uncomfortable/unnatural environments as evidence of ANC being potentially harmful.
To me the author is comparing two very different things
