I suppose your criticism of his criticism of the Nintendo port is valid,
but I don't think it is unreasonable to think they should not call a
system supported if it does not actually function as advertised.  Hell,
at the very least because someone who might have the knowledge to complete
a port wouldn't apply their time there because "it's already supported".
