I don't think he was dissing The Glowlight Plus per se. Only noting that it was a year late to market compared to the equivalent devices of its competitors. You don't stay relevant by constantly playing catch-up.

It's not been proven to my satisfaction that waterproofing alone is enough to motivate very many people to "upgrade" their Kindles and/or Kobos (which otherwise match up hardware- and feature-wise). In fact: if sales of the Glowlight Plus were less-than stellar, it's sort of proof-positive that adding waterproofing to last year's ereader specs wasn't enough to make a hit.
