Except DF didn't make an issue of it at all. They said in the same paragraph that it was a relatively minor issue, and that the majority wouldn't notice it at all :/

It's their job to report on everything they find. Something weird like every 60-ish frame repeating itself is justified in being mentioned, and noticeable to the small number of people sensitive to light stutters.

It was made an issue of. Especially given that they praise one game for a much larger drop. Take the next quote, for example:

"We've collected laps from a handful of different environments. Notice how the frame-rate inconsistencies manifest during gameplay. This issue is difficult to observe in a 30fps video but quite noticeable during actual gameplay"

Quite noticable during gameplay? 24 fps still relatively impressive?

What's that smell?

Bullshit.

They are completely different issues. If it were simply 59fps, then yes no one on the planet could tell, but it's not. The 59fps is simply the way in which the repeating of frames manifest. As they said, most won't notice a thing, but the doubling up of a frame every second or so can create a pretty obvious stutter for those sensitive to it or paying attention for it.

WD is a 30fps games that they managed to get down to 24fps with heavy stress testing. For an open world game that utilizes an advanced physics engine, that's pretty damn impressive for a console.

Anyway, let's let this drop. I was pretty clear in the OP about people start frame rate wars.
