That's factually incorrect. Daemons are often spawned from "early" processes whose ancestors are not TTYs.
This one is really wrong too. But I think his overall point is made clear by other examples. Nomenclature tends toward jargon in software culture.
But that's true in any field.
No, seriously. Article probably means background processes. Maybe aplies to session-daemons or user-daemons. Other daemons (udev, logrotate) were started long before there was any shell.
