This is not real. You could check the reviewer and the author have discussed many rounds. The reviewers said the concerns are not addressed. I am very confused why ac said the reviewers are outdated!!

the AC is usually an experienced researcher and is more senior than the reviewers, who can be PhD students that got assigned papers to review by their supervisors. I would trust the AC metareview more than the reviewers.

If that’s the case, why do we even bother to have multiple anonymous reviewers? Just to let the AC make the decisions based on their “more senior” experience.

Because they have 30+ papers to manage. The reviews allow them to focus on edge cases such as this one.
With CMT, the rebuttal is partially addressed to the AC. With openreview, I agree that it looks more uncomfortable.

Supervisors are responsible and accountable for their reviews though. It's s shitty excuse at best.

Or the conference. PhD students can also directly get review requests and assignment from the conference. I review stuff as a PhD student that my supervisor don't know about.
