Why is a comma a bad record separator/delimiter?

I was reading this article and I'm curious for the proper answer to this question.

The only thing that comes to my mind it's perhaps that in some countries the decimal separator is a comma, and it may be problems when sharing data in CSV, but I'm not really sure of my answer.
