To write such criticism, you have to mention if you have your own experience of using this product. "AirPods is a Platform" in that article is a bullshit, here I agree - while there's no apps running on the device, it's not a platform. But their quality is not "substandard", far from it. And they have a lot of features, not just noice cancellation. There are reasons to love them and you didn't even try to find full description of their features before complaining.
