Why on earth would you think that? The Verge is a link farm at this point, and Nilay (IMO the party most responsible for The Verge’s precipitous slide into irrelevance) is routinely one of the most out-of-touch sanctimonious personalities in tech.
I am in 100% agreement with you about The Verge in general. I used to visit a lot and have completely stopped. It's garbage now. I only see their articles if they pop up on top of HN or Reddit.
But that doesn't mean they are always wrong about everything.
