I don't really get how that's a critique of the ability to represent complexity on a computer well. After all, isn't a human mind constrained by P ?= NP in the same way as a computer architecture?

We do not know that actually. While it might be true that classical mechanics is the only machine behind our brain, evolution is just as likely to have stumbled into a quantum computer design we have not yet discovered in the last billion years.

Quantum computers still can't solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time, sadly. Take a look at the BQP complexity class; it's only a subset of NP.
