This is in the very same article....
“If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, and are looking for a maintenance-free battery, consider getting an AGM,” CR’s Banta says. “While AGM batteries can also be affected by high heat, they tend to perform better overall than other sealed batteries in our tests.”

Feel free to disagree, but this is not the only source I've heard this. Multiple car battery retailers told me the same thing when I wanted to buy a sealed battery.
"In some cases, owners can replace an AGM battery with a flooded one to boost longevity in hot climates"
That's pretty definitive.

It's referring to other testing it outperforms, like extreme cold.

It's well known AGM batteries are poor performers in hot weather. Cold temps they work great and last longer.
Optima used to be great when it was an independent company, but garbage now that they were bought out by Johnson Control.
