I am biased in that I know one of the authors. He and his work is anything but "lame". A more appropriate adjective would be "very good".

Science tends to proceed in short papers like this one (I did read it), and narrow focus, with suggestions on additional work of potential direct/indirect interest. Which they (as responsible scientists/engineers) include.

architectures - *that* would be meaningful information that we could all
use. But I guess that leaves the authors an opportunity to publish an
additional paper on the same topic, so they can list two publications on
their CVs instead of one.

No. Think page limits. We wrote a paper for AINA 2006. After it was accepted, we were told we had to whittle down our 12 pages to 6. For researchers, this means that you will likely get more papers out of the work, as a single large tome is less likely to be accepted at the publication than smaller more focused work.

Given where you work, I would think you would be sensitive to this :) ...
