There obviously wouldn't be any competition between the two platforms these days. I just thought that as the BBC Micro was so closely linked with the BBC in general that they would have featured that instead. But I suppose as the Speccy was a much greater success as a home computer you can see why they chose it.
BTW, did anyone notice the Commodore link under that article? Commodore in pictures.
They have a few images of Commodore machines throughout time, but they have some bad statements under the images. For one, under the Amiga picture they have the following:

Slightly back to front statement there!
And the BBC have, just like everyone else, given the impression that the new gaming Commodore computers are still from the old company:
