No, it can definitely read the entire browser window, fill out and click through forms etc etc. i know, I’ve used it.

That might be true, but it sounds like like a completely different feature than what the article is discussing. This is talking about a new feature that requires the user to select a specific section of the page in order to make it visible to the I'm LLM.

I am a little confused though, as to why this new feature would be needed if it could already read the entire screen.
