The Linux kernel team had to revert changes in over 200 files. They will also have to go back and review hundreds of commits to make sure they do not contain any malicious code.
The technical effort in addition to all the time spent dealing with the backlash of this is a waste of time for a lot of people doing important work that benefits everyone.
So, what else can be said... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. To Mr. Lu, Wu, and Pakki: enjoy your ban and worldwide press coverage.
