This is a great writeup.

This article is labelled as subscriber-only content, yet I am not a subscriber and can see it fine by following this link. Is it as simple as having the right URL to get to LWN subscriber-only content, or is there some other reason it can be accessed by non-subscribers?

As subscriber you can get a link to share an article, and the posted link is one of those. Also, subscriber-only content is made public after 7 days.
I think someone that’s a subscriber has to make it available.
