They actually mentioned this in the article, the claim at least, was that there is time in the cycle reserved for the "red-yellow" phase, whereas the system in the netherlands does not guarantee that there is time in the cycle for these, and a driver may not always receive the warning-for-green.
I also noticed this on the wait timers for the bicycle lights, I believe they showed the maximum wait time, and very very often they would accelerate or jump directly to green while still showing substantial time remaining.
