The OP wasn't whatabouting, just pointing out that it's business as usual.
Whataboutism as an accusation only take makes sense when it's whatabouting something from the accuser's camp, which doesn't seem to apply here.

Otherwise why point out it’s “business as usual”. It’s not like the comment was adding information anyone didn’t already know. Trying to paint the comment as something else is just being purposefully obtuse.
