It's very easy to point and criticize but what exactly do you propose is done in this type of situation?

Ban the authors because they acknowledged and rectified their error? Good job you just guaranteed that no author will ever speak up about any mistakes they legitimately made.

Not to mention that their updated results are still a massive improvement.

Academia is fine. It's benchmark-driven science, which seems to be most of ML research, that is a problem.
