That paper has not been published. You can't claim a paper is prior, just because a draft was available earlier. Incidently it was send to the same conference as the OP paper. But it seems like it wasn't accepted, while the OP paper was.

this is not really the norm in computer science. it’s generally expected to cite things on arXiv although it is more of a grey area.

Well they did right by not citing it, as it was rejected for publication.

that’s not how things work. lots of well-regarded papers are initially rejected in peer review but are commonly discussed and cited while in the submission process at other venues.
