So fundamentally what the author is saying is that this laptop is bad is a way that it was never meant to be good. And that's what makes the title click bait because the author is clearly aware of this.

Clearly it was never meant to be as good as a MacBook Pro.

It was meant to be good as an open source laptop (which it is, as one of the few open laptop designs that exists).

It's not clickbait to say "bad" to mean "bad in all other ways".
