To be fair, the use of the term primitive in this adventure isn't referring to a culture but hastily constructed structures.

"The primitive shelters are the new homes of grippli who escaped when the evil yuan-ti came through the village in their search for the earlier group of serpentfolk."

One of the definitions of the term primitive means..."having a quality or style that offers an extremely basic level of comfort, convenience, or efficiency."
