Sure, the guys at IBM[1] were a bit bitter, but their argument make sense (and they weren't alone on that). This result unambiguously deserve such qualification: this the kind of results everybody expected to be called “Quantum supremacy”, so that's a bit sad that they won't get as much credit as google's team.
