It's kind of funny that every example the article shows is a screenshot or video. Not a single one was actual ASCII text in the HTML...

It's not trivial to display ASCII art as text in html. There's so many ways to mess it up that unless the site is dedicated to ASCII art, a simple image is really preferable.
