Oh it really is just a summary, and no commentary as to whether TFA was long-winded or not. That's left to decide for each individually.

When you write tl;dr followed by a very short summary, doesn't that itself imply that the article was long?

tl;dr has also become a general shorthand for a summary.

It's almost an abbreviation for summary!

The summary was certainly shorter than the article!
