I use all kind of german localized apple operating systems for extended periods of time daily and never ever had any problem with legibility of the interface.

I would like to see a real example (not a constructed one like "Illiad" in the article) where the legibility is restricted.

When creating or testing typefaces, you always go with things like “1. Illiad” to compare one with another. If during this test, one is clearly the winner – like Unit (or something like Unit) is over SF Pro, then you don’t need real world tests. If your soup is way too salty in the kitchen, it will be the same in the dining hall. It’s really not rocket science.
