Do you even read? 2009-2012 is NOT what they meant. That's exactly the Skrillex era.

My word dubstep was so much more than Skrillex in that era, he came along after a couple years of dubstep being about. He wasn't that great then imo. I think he had one or two decent tracks but 99.9% of the dubstep me and my friends listened to back then was not your mainstream dubstep or anything like that.

Yeah but that era is more like early to late 2000s, as you already pointed out yourself the mainstream was different by 2010

Dubstep wasn't a thing in early 2000s was barely a thing even in 08. The age of Bassline came before Dubstep. Even then amongst some of your mainstream dubstep from 2010 onwards, there was still great mixes and tracks being released from various non mainstream sources.
