You seem to have misread the comment you're replying to. They didn't say this update implemented all of what makes Star Citizen stand out. They're saying that Hello Games is consistently rolling out new features in a timely manner, whereas Star Citizen's new features seem to only prolong that game's already very long development cycle.

And I'd just like to add that NMS has features that Star Citizen doesn't have, like being a fully functioning, released game and not a perpetual alpha. Sure, it doesn't have a bartender AI or bedsheet physics, but it also didn't cost $800+ million to develop, so some cuts are to be expected. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
