Then you got microsoft with teams, office, and such trying to be the agency of one for your collaboration needs.
Google is fighting to be your one stop shop for advertising.
The "one" in the article means one person doing all the work. Not a big org providing SAAS or such like MS/Google.
I don't think it would work for something like software, where the last 10% takes 90% of the time. Maybe you could do it for prototypes, but do any companies really need a "constant prototype" contractor?
One person doing all the work and needs of a project does happen, but its rare. I would just be cheaper to hire someone full time, so this usually happens in specialty software where its hard to keep hiring head count to do it.

Except that it happens all the time. its fairly prevalent.

I do agree we are moving towards agencies of one.
