They are implying that it's a massive security and privacy hole and they think taking security advice from somebody "who has a key under the doormat" is problematic.

Not that I necessarily agree with the original comment but that's the reasoning.

could I not make the same argument that using English is just making the NSA's job easier? I mean, they do tap the wires don't they making much of this moot.

You could make that argument, but I don't think it's either cohesive or convincing.

Yup,and if you have a news website or a shop, you go ahead. I specifically object to my own government sending data about citizen interactions with that government to an overseas third party.
