He wasn’t talking about NordVPN speeds. He was talking about the sort of services offered by Oxylabs, Honeygain, PacketStream and other similar proxy services.

Well isn't the whole article asserting that NordVPN is routing traffic through residential endpoints to confuse would-be VPN blockers? I thought that the allegation is that there's no distinction between the Oxylabs network and the NordVPN service.

The allegation is that they use a Oxylabs-like service for disneyplus.com specifically. Your speed test result using a Total Servers Solutions LLC connection to a non-disneyplus.com destination is irrelevant to that allegation.
