To write such criticism, you have to mention if you have your own experience of using this product.

"AirPods is a Platform" in that article is a bullshit, here I agree - while there's no apps running on the device, it's not a platform.

But their quality is not "substandard", far from it. And they have a lot of features, not just noice cancellation. There are reasons to love them and you didn't even try to find full description of their features before complaining.

A platform is about integration, not necessarily the ability to run "apps". Take Amazon's Echo for example: solidly a platform, does not run any apps per se.
