Conversely, I've only ever seen "make do" used.

"Make due" would make sense to me in the context where debt is a factor, for example, "make due on rent".

It doesn't make sense when you apply that meaning to how the sentence was written in this article.

Good point on the difference in context. I guess that's how I've seen it used mostly.
