> how can you deny it's not shady?

It wasn't. It's dumb. But that's different from shady. At the end of the day, the market never priced in the S&P making this decision because the default understanding was a public consultation by S&P goes nowhere. Influencers ran with a consultation being a fait accompli and now anyone saying otherwise is licking billionaire balls.
