I loved this piece too. I had always heard the verb "abide" in "The Dude abides" as intransitive: I took it to mean something like the third Oxford Languages definition, "continue without fading or being lost." Your transitive take was interesting: the idea of abiding something. Both can work.
On the money as always. Listen to Kris. Make up your own mind but first listen to Kris.
You taught me well! ;)
