Nobody is arguing that Freud was right.
They're explaining why Freud named it the Oedipus complex.
I agree with them. Just because Freud was wrong doesn't mean his reasoning for the naming wasn't consistent with his beliefs. He believed that the ignorance allowed Oedipus to express the internal desire that would otherwise be inhibited.
He was wrong, but that explains why he named it this way.
