Ideal Chess – drop chess perfected?

Interesting paper concept. I'll read it.

I also notice Kramnik is the last-listed author in a group of four, the rest of whom work at DeepMind. Is this a new marketing "thing" in published corporate research?

You may already be aware of this, but for those who don't: depending on the discipline and other factors, the last author in the list may be known as the "anchor". Often, frankly, the preceding authors do the majority of the work, while the anchor functions as a supervisor.

I'm ignoring "vanity" authorship and other horrors.

Did you read the paper? It is quite long, mainly because of Kramnik's manual analysis of some selected games. It appears his role was to explore game playing factors, which are hard to catch with statistics.
