It is my understanding, and I acknowledge that I pull my sources out of my ass, that it is primarily outsourced to player feedback, but VALVe can and does sometimes force a specific rating for highly anticipated or already popular games. I can’t tell if that’s what happened here because the article seems more focused on smearing VALVe than reporting on what process lead to this happening.
I honestly thought VALVe ran protondb.com but I can see now at the bottom of the page it says This site has no affiliation with Valve Software.
