It is part of the NYT's opinion section, and not the editorial board's opinion.

Newspapers include opinion sections from very diverse authors. The NYT has, for example, published a section by Putin:

Opinion pieces are typically paid. I suspect world leaders and billionaires are not paid, though.

The Times does decide what to print, even if they print an unpaid Putin. They would presumably decline to print a letter from Kim Jong Un about how he shot 38 under par, including five holes-in-one.
