The map doesn't mention a thousand separator...
But it shows areas and how numbers are suposedly formatted in those areas and those numbers have thousand separators.
But it specifically only talks about separating the integer from the decimal. How can it be wrong about something it doesn't talk about at all?
Not to mention that the Arabic world writes numbers with their own script:
۱٬۲۳٤٬٥٦۷٫۸۹
(Yes, that's the official thousands separator U+060C and the official decimal separator U+060B and they do look suspisciously similar.)
