It probably doesn't. Some people can't metabolise certain forms of B-group vitamins. Unless Soylent includes all the different forms, those people are going to develop a serious deficiency.
That's just one micronutrient, out hundreds that are currently known about.
More worrying is the consistent pattern of being dismissive of feedback from the people who study this subject as their primary concern.
