The word on the street among the researchers I know from my grad school days is that this is basically a bunch of datasets that were created earlier on for specific papers, and the subset of researchers are repackaging them as a kind of weird academia twitter winnertakeall thing.
The author list also reminds me of the embarrassing practices of the physics community…
Nothing wrong with releasing a webpage with a list of datasets, but the press and need for a whole big announcement that claims it will change robotics makes them seem desperate.
