I've read that a few times in places, which is interesting on the face of it as in public the language surrounding Apple products is hyperbolic and overwhelmingly positive, and internally saying "well, it doesn't suck" is high praise. The duality of company presences.
I guess at some point one intellectually reaches a no-return state where due to some Dunning-Kruger corollary you find everything you do sucks to various degrees.
It follows that "it's brilliant" is much less impacting than "it doesn't suck" since the former, while authentic, may feel shallower in the reasoning that led to it.
