I read between the lines that they've tried to get an article published, but were asked to submit an opinion letter instead.
ETA: But it's nicer to say that the editors invited them to write, and I already see LP coach Live Landmark refer to the comment as published in the Lancet (as if it was...
The tabloid newspaper Dagbladet has written an article about the Lancet comment. It's paywalled, so here are some translated quotes::

This email from 2020 from Signe Flottorp, research director at The Norwegian Institute for Public Health, resurfaced today on Twitter. I had forgotten it.
It's sent to Miek Jong, Head of Norway's National Research Center in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NAFKAM). NAFKAM defined...

Omstridt ME-studie ble etisk godkjent. Så ble den stoppet. Nå er studien godkjent igjen
google translation: Controversial ME study was ethically approved. Then it was stopped. The study...
