Were you commenting on what was in print here only, or did you watch the video?
I certainly can't endorse the whole thing as spot on, if only for the 'Tik Tok girlie" reference which was just juvenile; as was the general tone.
I think the take that it's only 1/2 open is a fair one, that part is accurate enough, the food hall is arguably the signature retail feature, as well as many of the restos, and those are mostly unopened as yet.
Certainly there has to be some fairness in that observation, and the hype is not supported by the currently open retailers.

The 'outdoor' mall in Canada/Not Florida business was really rather silly. As many have noted above, main street retail throughout the old City is linked by outdoor sidewalks. They generally don't have any form of roof/canopy either, which clearly exists at 'The Well'.
If you're arriving in winter gear, and going to a few different places, or strolling through, it's not like this is Yorkdale, it's less than a 5 minute walk from one end to other. Hardly a big deal.

The absence of seating in any form (including patio) at Prince Street is a fair observation. I've grabbed a slice there, and there really is nowhere convenient to eat it on the Front Street side at all; Wellington offers some nice options, but you'd need to know that and walk a minute or two out of the way.
Prince's owners know this is a problem and are working on some solution in terms of outdoor seating.
I do think it would have made sense to at least have some 'standing table' eating space inside; not so much due to winter specifically as just to meet the needs of customers any time of year. I do think the failure to include that was an odd mistake.
