I feel bad for brevity in the presence of such criticism.

Im sorry, English is not my first language and don't understand what you mean, could you explain me?

It’s okay, I’m a native English speaker and don’t understand what they’re saying.

The criticism is that most EU countries were omitted in the description. Having to list them, while complete, is the opposite of a short summary which most reporting aims for. Hence, the death of brevity. Criticizing the description as an omission is not only pedantic but ultimately makes the content worse.
