Not super related but note that the Frontiers group of journals has recently been criticised for somewhat dodgy peer review practices, where if a reviewer (or even an editor?) suggests rejection of a paper, their review will be removed and another reviewer called in. See e.g. https://twitter.com/bmwiernik/status/1234247737476030465 https://twitter.com/bmwiernik/status/1234247737476030465, there are several such threads now.

Providing precisely the evidence you have, as OP did, is perfectly intellectually hygenic, and is not slandering. Anyway, my personal sense, as a former scientist, is that most journals have systematic problems.
