In this case, there are no advantages I could find, only disadvantages.

I suppoes the fact that I could find no advantages but plenty of disadvantages should people decide whether or not to use the tool.

And it is on the author to cover both sides

I don't think this is something you can say about articles in general. It's perfectly fine to have an article that says, "I love X because Y" without mentioning its drawbacks - especially on a forum like this, where people will bring up their criticisms in the comments. It's responsible of the author to address those criticisms - or even to say something like, "I don't mind the drawbacks, I expect it to improve in the future" which acknowledges the criticism and moves on.

OP has already said they don't consider the claimed advantages to be legitimate.
