I don't know why you would characterize it that way when they very clearly describe what they've done to improve this and their plans to improve it further. I wish every company would "refuse to admit" the same way!
Because their direct statement, at the end of the day, just unilaterally shifts blame to Electron for something that is partly their fault. So while they do have improvements in 2017, and it's great to see their steps for the future, they still have a fundamental issue in not admitting that they are slower than their direct competitors, who also are burdened by the same issues Atom is saying are the reason for their performance.
