There’s a difference between quirky English and incomprehensible English. If someone has poor English but their point is understandable, there’s not much to complain about. This article however falls squarely in the bucket of poor English and possibly proofing inhibiting comprehension. If someone aspires to be a journalist in English as the author claims to be, communication and comprehensible English are critical. It’s not a nitpick - there are plenty of sections where it’s not clear what the author is trying to say like:

The broader point here is that this appears to be a very low quality/effort article, and so question was genuine: what am I missing? It clearly resonated with some folks.
