By now, there is a concessions among the particle physics community that SM is incomplete. The same way that we all agree that Newtonian mechanics is incomplete and doesn't describe anything on atomic/quantum level so we don't use it or talk about Newton mechanics when we are in this scale. The same thing happens here, people mostly talk about SM for what it predict and have an answer for not what it lacks (again because it is obviously incomplete).

We know we need new particles if for nothing else than to explain dark matter (unless we will come with a non-MOND non-matter theory that fits current observations and hopefully is compatible with other well tested theories too). We also have “known” for a while that the standard model is incomplete but so far actual physics beyond it has been eluding us. That was to me missing in this article.
