Did you read the article? It explains it.

The anodes inside each cells should protrude over the cathodes, so that there will not be a short in case something moves unexpectedly (like vibration, etc).

The cells they have issues with don’t have consistent overhang, sometimes the cathodes protrude. Which could cause a short.

Under normal circumstances they will operate just fine, but they are not as safe as properly manufactured cells.

By the way, omitting safety features usually does not affect normal operation. But safety features are there to protect you in case something goes wrong. Like a seat belt or airbags.
