That's basically the opposite of what he is saying, it is a glue code, just automated glue code.

The idea is about using views and row security to control data access, and simply exposing that instead building some kind of REST/GraphQL/etc API

No, it is kind of what I'm saying. More hamfisted than I'd like, maybe, but along the right lines.

My point is that an extra layer of in-house code is an extra layer to build and maintain, even if it doesn't do anything meaningful. Ideally it could be eliminated altogether, but automatically generating it still relieves most of the development overhead.
