There is indeed something to be said about whether someone defines and compares the progress of a games developement to it's own previous builds and the general work or time between them rather than to what they expect a fully finished product to look like. The game is progressing along in development even if it doesn't look like much more than a tech demo at this point, even if it's still missing many core features that the rest of us wants it to have already. The real test will be how fast it continues to progress or whether that progress continues unabated in the future. One complication will be in the fact that the amount of time and effort needed to move the game along equal to the same progress in another project is not set or universal. Admittedly it's hard to keep that in mind when judging game design while it's still in its infancy like this.
