It's the "law" of numbers. 400k pings, even if only 1% clicked on the repo, and maybe 10% of them commented: that's 400 comments to make. Even on internal repos I've never seen productive discussion really happen past 50 or so comments.

And then the news broke out and that drove even more than 1% to check out the drama. Maybe even had some people sign up for Epic just to check it out.
