The site mentions that they are going to be adding additional "extensions" as they call (accessories in other words) soon. It's definitely not a bike for everyone. But I personally commute on a bike which has no fenders (I took them off) and no rack and I don't miss them in the slightest. Like I said, it's a bike for those who appreciate minimalistic design and the ease of use. I will agree that electronics don't last too long but that's the price you pay for that extra comfort.
The only thing I'm not going to argue against is the price. It is definitely too steep but I guess it's hard to launch such bike for any less, stay competitive and actually make some profit off it.
I don't think anyone is pissed, I think we just see it as being minimally useful. It's not a minimalistic design. It looks cluttered with a lot of junk. Why bother with an integrated headset when nothing else is aero? You may as well get a race bike if that's what you want, for a lot less money.
