Interesting report. Though their last point is strange. The hard fork does not *increase* the chance of a 51% attack. It eliminates the almost certainty that one could have been done. Conceptually it could be easier for some botnet herder to pull of a 51% if they wanted now, but that is less probable than the ability for a huge ass asic farm who was one click away from doing it pre-fork.
Yeah, sounds like someone has some bias in that statement. At least they mentioned this

Forks - whether hard, soft, contentious, or non-contentious - are normal events in the crypto-industry and frequent forks may indicate healthy development behind a crypto network. Regardless of the outcomes from this fork, the XMR development team continues future improvement of Monero, with the next fork being already scheduled for October 2019
. although they made the statement to generalized as it is not common in other coins nor healthy like an ETH type chain fork.
