1. FB is multi platform, while IUnknown is inherently tied to Microsoft.
(Or am I wrong about this?)

     Absolutely wrong.

2. IUnknown compatibility would imply a lot of other stuff that FB
doesn't want, re. COM etc.

     Wrong again.

Although that may not be required per se,
just because of IUnknown compatibility, it is in people's minds very
tightly coupled with COM. This is not good. FB is not a COM object and
shouldn't be. Ever. Please. ;-)

     Nobody going ever think about COM.

So, would you say that this article is misleading:
