The probative value of the article is massively outweighed by its prejudicial effect.

In other words, it’s a smear campaign. The author is literally saying, oh I can fix all of these issues, but I don’t know what other issue might come up. This is horse raddish. Balloon juice. A downright dismissal. As if you’d have better luck with the walled-off garden that is Unity or UE. They simply stated issues the community has already been talking about, and framed it as Godot is a lost cause not even worth fixing.

And here’s the bullshido that the author implemented. They sprinkled in the thing about Godot being tied to the Vulkan API. This is valid criticism. Surprise surprise, a FOSS engine being worked on by a handful of paid devs and some volunteers has more work that it needs done on it. But now if you disagree with the thing I said about it being a smear campaign, they throw Ol’ Faithful at you:

“An engine is a tool, not a cult.” “Oh, you disagree with the article. Are you saying that Godot is perfect?” “So you’re saying that there are no technical issues with Godot?” “You can only release low poly games with 3D Godot.”

As soon as the status quo was disturbed, suddenly the imperfections of Godot are on full blast. Juan Linietsky and Co. are now to drop literally everything they were doing and address the smear campaign’s concerns, lest it be successful. I suppose that’s both a positive and a negative.
