Paaper is still pre-print so they might be waiting for reviews to complete before releasing the code.

The joys of peer review.

So how can reviewers review the code then? The features do look excellent, a strong coreutils candidate.
Academic papers are often reviewed independently of code.

It's the academic contribution to the wider body of knowledge reviewers will focus on as the paper, not the code, will be the thing presented at conference.

Code will likely be spaghetti. Academic research is often more about "finding new stuff" than "building robust stuff".

Doesn't always make sense IMO, but that's the way of the world.
