I think you should revisit the word "just", its presence in the comment you're trying to discuss, and how it's used.

To me it seems it's used with the intent "They don’t just <do X>, they <do Y>," implying that Y is a proper superset of X. My point is that X is in fact a superset of Y, making the most charitable reading "They don’t just <do X>, they <do X in more words>."

Is there another potential reading of "just" that I'm missing?
