On a system that previously required the Internet daily just to work. An online download is not a big deal, it's even less of a big deal when the console its on requires the Internet.

Whether they are behind schedule or not is just speculation. This could have been the plan from the very start for all we know.

Speculation? lol

He addmited they are behind the schedule and won't get ready to retail release... so the day one patch was the only choice to release the game at launch. 

I am not reading that anywhere in the article.

What he does say, is their production schedule is such that due to the certification process, they need to make a day one download to put as much content into the game as possible. You don't know whether that was always the plan or not. Unless you have some other article, and if so, then share.
