This is exactly where a native grasp kicks in. A layperson cannot be expected to put their finger on what's wrong, but they feel it. So does a native designer, and they can act on it.
A non-native can still make a serviceable font, as long as it's highly imitative of precedent.

“Inter has a relative x-height of exactly 1/4th the cap height.” – Nope, it’s ¾.
“…some Cyrillic character, like Omega, for instance.” – Are you gonna tell me that Omega was a Cyrillic character?
Has nobody proofread the article?
