The cars have battery management systems that help mitigate the damage from fast charging which is caused by heat and improper ionized diffusion. This article is describing that the new fast charging network is too fast for the current cars BMS right now.
Yes, but for most people the difference doesn’t matter. BMS systems (see other reply) minimize this, and most people typically are doing a much slower charge at home the vast majority of the time. If you really are driving across the US constantly and thus always fast charging for everything it will shorten your battery life. However you will still likely trade in the car before this affects you, and the new owner will note the reduced range but will accept it as a good trade off for the lower cost car.
Does charging the batteries so quickly shorten their life?

Its the heat that kills them so this could be minimized with the cooling systems EVs use for their packs.
It can, if you charge the car to 100% everyday. So not a problem for most people
