What Sketch is doing in the post is marketing their constraint as their strength.
Some reasons on why Sketch is not a good design tool:
1. Exclusion: Sketch was never cross-platform. There by excluding people. Design is all about inclusion. There have been numerous requests to make sketch available on windows.
2. Apple only: Sketch was made to design stuff for Apple Ecosystem and that mostly remains that way.
3. Cost: Sketch exlcudes people to design basis cost. People measure the cost of sketch as USD 99. However, the real cost is cost of owning a Mac and then owning a Sketch license. Owning a Windows/Linux machine with Figma / Xd is way cheaper and makes the tools of trade accesible to the masses.
As i contrast these with Figma Or XD or even InvisionStudio, the tools of trade are far more accesible to the masses.
A feature based comparison is not helpful as Sketch can catchup to Figma (is already doing so with Sketch Cloud).
