I think he's talking more about the implication from some people that if Chap Mei/Whoever can make toys like this at this pricepoint, Hasbro can totally put out a superior ("Hasbro-level") version...with the further unspoken implication that it should be at the same pricepoint.
For what you pay, the True Heroes stuff is pretty awesome, no doubt. For many collectors, its' "close enough." I've been considering outfitting my Marauder Task Force figures with some True Heroes vehicles. Just so they have a separate "identity" from the Joes/Cobras.
Basically, they try to use these vehicles as "proof" that big Joe vehicles totally would sell if Hasbro just made them...while ignoring that a large part of the reason these vehicles sell is the low pricepoint for what you get.
