I would ask what is the source of that quote? The article no longer contains it.

No, they actually did write parts of the paper.

Leaving them out as co-authors would be misconduct.

On an iOS device this is a pretty hot path, since it's used to decompress the asset catalog, including some images, so most of your apps on iOS probably already use this algorithm.
