What. Of course its very directly a response to that. Newspapers are going to publish pieces related to topical events. That's what news is. That's why people buy newspapers. This still doesn't mean the newspaper is endorsing the viewpoint in the opinion piece. That's a fundamental misunderstanding on what an opinion piece is.

Yeah I have a more general issue with opinion pieces often leaning towards platforming the already powerful and self-interested, but being against them being topical is a little silly. If there is a crash on the T or a policy proposal in the works, expect an influx of related content in the editorial page.
