If that us the only con against WP nowadays that is a good thing, I remember when the cons were a lot longer.

I think it's more when the review calls the app store "bare", or always refer to it in ways like "there are no apps", "there are only very few apps", or even vague terms like "a fraction of iOS and Android's app store". It just doesn't convey the accurate state of the Windows Phone store. The store now has about 1/4 of total app number from the other two, though majority of the big name titles are already here. Typically it'll be some third party, especially apps made by a small group that's not there, but then again the same can be said for vice versa. There are third party apps found on WP developed by smaller groups not found on the other two; it's just the overall size of their store making it a little more obvious to see in WP store.
I think something like "the app store, while lacking in total app numbers, has grown to offer the majority of the key apps that any typical users would want." is a better description. So whenever the writer say anything close to that I'd think it's a fair (relatively) review.
