The author was looking at historical impact not what was the best tank from some technological viewpoint. As you mention the Tiger and Panther were an impressive machines but so complicated as to make it not suitable for mass production therefore in the scheme of things not a war winning weapon like the T-34 or Sherman.

Also from what I understand from reading on WW2 the tiger tank was unreliable over the long haul because it would break down far more than any of the other tanks in WW2.
But everyone hated going up against them.

If an M1A1-2 isn’t war winning there never was one.
