Holding on to publishing the results because you don't like the political consequences sounds like self-censorship to me

It's "self-censorship" no more than I am self-censoring myself right now, in this comment.

Reinvigorating your old work for publication, once you have a commercially viable avenue to promote it, is pretty average capitalism.

Plenty of work that is politically awkward is published under a strict pseudonym. This wasn't - and the author's position is that it was their choice not to publish.
