I get the point that the official comment is trying to make, but this seems like something that should've been handled internally via email. The paper has been public for some time now (2 months, with substational discussion on reddit and twitter). To clarify, it feels as if SPS drafted their comment only after seeing the high scores on openreview. If the goal is to correct the record and present past work in the correct light - why not email the authors months ago?

Nah screw that. Everything should be publicly discussed.

Well, twitter has also been a big platform now a days to public discussions. (I’m not saying that to not put open review comment, but I’m saying they should’ve discussed this over there as well, given the amount of reaction to this paper)

Can we assume SPS has not contacted the authors before? I don't know. Maybe he did and they ignored him. Anyway, I am waiting for the authors' response before making any conclusions.
