I think they're just being honest. All of the features they boast were completely possible in the 90s. The only reason we didn't get them in the 90s was people not realizing they were so possible, or perhaps not wanting to leave their 70s style behind. A great deal of computing, especially on the *nixy side of things, is stuck in the past. Stepping back and looking at what you're used to and saying 'but how would it work if we were designing it from scratch today with all the hardware and knowledge we have now' doesn't often come up. And it's often seen as an attack on the older way of doing things for no good reason.
