This mirrors my sentiments to a "T". Naughty Dog isn't looking for followers (if anything, they're looking to distinguish themselves). That would be the greatest reason my hype is sky high. I'm with Slimebeast in not wanting every game to follow this trend, but disagree that it's a bad route for Naughty Dog to take.

Yes they are, it's all in the article:
[...]his team wanted to "raise the bar" in order to make other game developers realise: "Okay, I really need to learn the craft of storytelling, I really need to involve my actors in this in order to get realistic performances and realistic actors. That's what we want to do."
We're going to keep pushing ourselves, and kill ourselves to make this story happen - but hope that by doing it, the rest of the industry is going to take notice and try to do the same thing."

That's not necessarily telling the industry to follow them, in absolute. It's saying things need to tighten up, that if you're going to attempt to do storytelling, don't half-ass it. In such case, I agree, mainly because it's not saying things need to be more contextual or "Uncharted-like".
I took their words as inspirational, rather than directional, but still wouldn't want an industry full of Naughty Dog-style clones either.

If that's how you see it then I agree completely. Not all games need to have amazing storytelling (or a story at all) but if that's one of your selling points you gotta put the effort like ND does.
