Its a very thorough article. I wish there would be more like this out there for various tech nowadays instead of the mostly superficial articles that abound. He even starts a drawing in one program and then exports it out to Adobe Photoshop CC for painting. I'm was surprised actually when i read it the first time. Had no idea that the Atom X7 was powerful enough for what he shows.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the stylus for surface pro supports all of the control features that the iPad pro stylus offers (not just pressure sensitivity, but control via angling of the stylus).

It is true that this does not matter to everyone, but creative professionals are overwhelmingly Apple customers (Apple makes a point of targeting them in their messaging, Microsoft not so much), so they may not feel comfortable with going outside that ecosystem, regardless of Surface Pro's merits.
