For most people in Berlin, the BVG AB ticket of €86 per month is the way to go.

This is factually incorrect. For most people in Germany, Deutschland-Ticket (https://int.bahn.de/en/offers/regional/deutschland-ticket) of €49 per month is the way to go.

Deutschland-Ticket covers fares on all public transportation options in Germany, regardless of the city, plus on slower longer-distance trains (RB, RE, etc).

I live in Berlin, and the rest of the costs mentioned in the article seem somewhat accurate.

Actually, living in Berlin feels like double the costs listed in that article... somehow

The costs listed in the article seem to be the result of random sampling without any price-consciousness, i.e. you can easily end up spending that much or more, but you don't have to. I spend much less, but I always compare prices (especially for food, I check the unit price per kg or liter) and take the cheapest option within a given category.
