The Moro arc is the best arc of Super so far in my opinion (though I suppose the ending could ruin it, we'll see how it plays out), and I think the influence of the Dragon Ball Z style of arc is a big part of the reason, if not the main reason. I won't go into too much detail due to spoilers, but like for example Moro is actually a serious threat, and it's treated with the dramatic weight of the Z arcs. Or how Vegeta gets his own big character arc throughout the Moro arc which is something Z did really well, every major saga came with a different character arc/growth for Vegeta. Super, despite basically being a buddy cop series about Goku and Vegeta, mostly dropped this. Like he had one in Battle of Gods, and the anime gave him one in the Tournament of Power (one of the only improvements the anime made in that arc) but otherwise he's been in focus but hasn't had a character arc or goal in Super.
The other elements I could mention feel more spoiler-heavy, but needless to say, I disagree with those articles.
