You seem to be saying, not that you find the concerns inseparable, but that you are not being given the opportunity to separate the quality of the podcasts and that of the app in your rating - which is the point of the article.

I don't argue against the article.

...which does consider the quality of the podcast and that of the app to be separable issues.

They are free to consider that. As I said, I don't seek to argue against the article or debunk it or anything like that. The basis of my argument is not the article as a whole, the article can have its hypothesis, I'm not interested.
I am, actually. The experience is the listening of the podcast, how that is produced and how that is delivered are technicalities that you cannot know without investigation or prior knowledge and that is useful only if you are looking into improving or duplicating the experience.
So, it makes sense to me to rate the app based on the podcasts you listened as well us the UI experience. After all, that would be the experience of other people who are about to download the app.
