No one is saying he 3-bet. What is being said is that he was a habitual 3-bettor, but he chose not to 3-bet in this hand. It matters because then we can say that he likely doesn't have KK or AQs type of hands in his range. Without that piece of information you can never deduce his likely holdings OTR to 99 or QTs. And only thing that supports the fold OTR is still a live read that his opponent made his hand on the river.

You need to be more than 90% sure that the river card made his opponents hand, if you are 100% sure that you can deduce his range to just 99 and QTs. I wasn't at the table but i'm not exactly loving the margin of error of the play. It might have been correct but it very rarely is.
