If your point is that the length of One Piece is a hypothetical barrier for you personally, that's fair. The time commitment is huge.

​However, using that as an argument for why it shouldn't be ranked higher than a completed show like AoT is just moving the goalposts. The article is comparing the quality and impact of the series as a whole, not the barrier to entry for new viewers.

​If you know enough about the story, as you claim, then you know the payoff is worth it. You don't get to nearly 1100+ episodes while being considered one of the greatest series of all time if the story isn't constantly rewarding. The length is a feature, not a bug, when it comes to world-building and character relationships.
