This sounds a lot like whataboutism.

I don't agree your analogy holds.

1. That famous question was rhetorical, this one isn't;

2. That was a riposte to a grand claim that questions can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and no explanation whatsoever, the "framing" of this one β€” i.e., the expanded text after the headline β€” clearly asks for explained responses and not a simple "yes" or "no".
