The authors address this in the paper. They claim that MG is different to VS as VS is a colloquial term used to criticise people on social media, whereas MG “has been extensively explored and defined in philosophical literature”.

"Our basic contention is that one grandstands when one makes a contribution to public moral discourse that aims to convince others that one is “morally respectable.” By this we mean that grandstanding is a use of moral talk that attempts to get others to make certain desired judgments about oneself, namely, that one is worthy of respect or admiration because one has some particular moral quality—for example, an impressive commitment to justice, a highly tuned moral sensibility, or unparalleled powers of empathy. To grandstand is to turn one's contribution to public discourse into a vanity project."

I personally strongly disagree that anything from 2016 can be "extensively explored and defined in philosophical literature".
