I dunno, there's clearly a bar for "good enough". From the article it's not obvious to me that AWS Rekognition meets that bar (yet). 21% precision with 54% recall isn't the kind of thing that achieves "if you're using AI and your competitors aren't, you're ahead".
I like your framing/sentiment though: it's not about small differences in "betterness", it's about the difference in kind in going from "no ML/AI" => "whoa, it works!".
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (but not in ML).
