Contra wirecutter is clearly invented for this article. But in short I take it to mean that it asserts a point of view that is in disagreement with the point of view asserted on the popular wirecutter.com product review site.
Ah ok, I thought wirecutters we things used for cutting wires.
They are, but in this case it’s a reference to the website that carries product reviews called “The Wirecutter”
