It was a Springfield Armory advertisement, so quite a bit of bias! Also, didn’t really touch on the best overall design aspect too much. The SA-35 though probably is the best designed Hi-Power though, which really wasn’t discussed enough.

I didn't get that. I thought it was more using Springfield as an example because it is one of the few striker fired platforms with a grip safety.
I do not care for Ayboob but this was one of his better articles. I give credit where credit is due.

Well thought out article, and while it may have a bit of confirmation bias, I don't think anyone can really argue with the merits of a grip safety.

Of course, I personally believe the most effective safety is the six inches between your ears.
