I don't think it is really throwing shade at Google Play in India (other than that luke-warm line). I think the main argument is that they didn't really adapt the app to the US market. It would have been trivial to be able to look up an account by email OR phone number OR username but they didn't even bother. They also could have transitioned user accounts but didn't care enough.
The article mostly seems to be complaining that good in India != good in US and that Google needs to adapt to the different markets.
