'computers were invented in America' is rather a stretch.

Which is why no one said that. I read most of the article and I'm still not sure what you were annoyed about. I didn't see anything US-centric, or even anglocentric really.

To say I'm annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:

currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses $ for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.
