As someone who leans towards hedonistic utilitarianism, I would agree with this impression. It seemed like the post asserted that utilitarianism must be true and that alternative intuitions could be dismissed without any good corresponding argument.
I would also add that there are many different flavors of utilitarianism, and it’s unclear which, if any, is the correct theory to hold. This podcast has a good breakdown of the possibilities.
