The only reason I've ever considered Stitch Fix is specifically because there might be a person with better taste than me on the other end.
If the ex-workers in the article are representative, they aren't trained stylists at all; they're housewives and other normal people looking for extra income. Using StitchFix is basically letting your Uber driver select your wardrobe.
I'd venture a guess that the average "normal person" is better at picking out clothing than I am, so I don't see the problem with this. Vanishingly few people who choose clothes for others, whether it's a Stitch Fix, Nordstrom, or styling celebrities, are "trained stylists." It's about taste, not training.

If they have good taste, works for me.
