Probably because "following the straight line of the laser beam" should have a "for a bit" at the end; the lightning only goes (relatively) straight for a short distance so it doesn't look very impressive.
You can see the picture they are talking about here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-022-01139-z/figures/3 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-022-01139-z/figures/3
And this one shows two other examples of similar strikes along with the laser drawn on top: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-022-01139-z/figures/2 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-022-01139-z/figures/2
