I thought this very thing roughly 7 times throughout that. This guy clearly hasn't been paying attention to the several dozen rewrites and fixes that cleared out old, crappy code and replaced it with simpler, cleaner, faster, and more efficient code, while separating components, eliminating absurd dependencies, and all-around fixing the absurd problems created by the coders that came before. He's obviously not paid attention to the work done to improve performance on embedded devices of all stripes. He's got no idea there are people who actually do work on this fulltime, who do absolutely astounding work.
He's like the person who thinks the world is getting worse and more violent, when we've never lived in safer times. He has assumptions, and no amount of actual facts will change those assumptions.
Plus, he thinks Kodi without add-ons is pointless, immediately invalidating pretty much the entire rest of his argument.
edit: There was so much stupid in that post that I missed some of it. Probably the best part was going on this huge rant about how Windows 3.1 was better than Windows 7 (which is idiotic). And then saying that the only way to improve software is to pay people to do it, which appears, on its surface, to directly contradict the first point, since people have been paid to improve Windows since its inception (to varying levels of success).
