Why O(1) time complexity does not exist? + Memory Model

In this article, we have taken an in-depth look at the operations or algorithms that have a constant time in terms of asymptotic notation of time complexities. Is O(1) really a practical way of representing the time complexity of certain algorithms/ operations?
