At least in the university where I did my studies, each professor had their own way of thinking and you could not group them into any one basket.

Fair point.
I'll just leave my comment as it is. The university administration still bears responsibility in the fact that they waived the IRB.

Interestingly, that paper states that they introduced 3 patches with bugs, but after acceptance, they immediately notified the maintainers and replaced the patches with correct, bug-free ones. So they claim the bugs never hit any git tree. They also state that their research had passed the university IRB. I don't know if that research relates to what they are doing now, though.
