Satoshi wrote this quote in late 2010, when Bitcoin Core already existed, as it was released just days after Bitcoin's launch.
Yes, Bitcoin Core has always been a wallet, but it did not automatically suggest fees back then.
The thread actually discusses the block size threshold. Satoshi suggests that automatically suggested fees in Bitcoin Core or other wallet software could be a way to let market dynamics decide how transactions are prioritized in the future.
