It was published in 2021… is this a conspiracy that somehow it’s been kept off hacker news for 4 years?

More likely you just didn’t notice when it was published.

Indeed, it would be a hard sell to suggest otherwise.

But for me not to have heard of it at all, period, in four years? I was surprised. But not that surprised, which is even more telling.

I don't think they were implying anything other than surprise that they missed it. Obviously not everyone is on the site every day so the concept of a "dupe" is really a leaky abstraction, and all the passive aggressive comments calling out dupes and old content are annoying and misguided.
