I think people who use and defend ai use as professionals are pick-mes and have shitty/broken moral compasses.
I'd argue that pretending this is a big deal for some cheap hits is even worse though. The system is designed to identify when things like this happen, and it worked perfectly.
Race conditions in general aren't newsworthy at all.
They're generally fairly complex, an easy mistake to make (especially when optimising) and rarely obvious.. And fairly common..
Works in the other direction too, some people just let the world wash over them and work with whats at hand without deluding themselves into thinking they matter enough to change it.
Ironically, the man in question has actually changed it, but the point stands.
