Good catch! You're absolutely correct. I omitted it here because folks that followed through the first post too have added the line (setq use-package-always-ensure t) to init.el, which sets :ensure t by default on every declaration - I prefer that behavior to setting it one at a time.

In retrospect, it probably should have just been one big post.
