I think, they have a point about the spec being both enormous and underspecified, and that there should be other ways to have and query relational data.
But yeah, it looks like some of the points are a bit blown out of proportion. I especially liked those monstrosities of queries that are examples of how the same thing computes different results (but it shouldn't be allowed, really)
This seems to be ignoring or ignorant of a lot of feature languages that have come out of the different flavors in the Big Data or PG world.
