What the article finds worrisome about this is that it is a "hobbyist in a garage" building what's essential a voice activated and commanded killing machine. They are concerned because it is not "a government lab" or similar. Nobody should be doing this, but okay.

I think it’s worrisome because if hobbyist can do this, imagine what professionals with more time and money can do

He's not just any hobbyist. He's a professional. A literal engineer according to the article.
