The key is section 4.3.3, which draws a distinction between measures and predictors. The Solomonoff lower-semicomputable semimeasure is universal for all lower-semicomputable semimeasures, not just for some narrower class. But if we forget the idea of lower-semicomputable semimeasures and treat Solomonoff as a member of a wider class - limit-computable predictors - it turns out to be not universal for that class. In fact, moving from measures to predictors is so lossy that no predictor can be universal for its own class, by a simple diagonal argument. To me that means Solomonoff's approach with measures is more nuanced and informative than the approach with predictors.
