It sounds like the point they're making is more: "we internalize and understand relationship norms through serial monogamy, and maybe more people would benefit from reconsidering if that is what they want."
Not: "You wanna cheat on your partner? Just do it lol."
Maybe I misunderstood it then, it seemed like they were presenting this as a defence for people who cheat, like "don't blame them, blame the society which ultimately causes it".
Edit: reading again, it very clearly says "... Instead of vilifying it [infidelity]..." So they really are trying to say "stop getting upset about it"
I think the "it" there can also be the human nature to want to love/fuck many people, not just a single partner. I'm being charitable as I don't think that's the point they're trying to make, but I'm not the commenter, so idk.
