Doesn't this reinforce the complaint of a balance issue? I'm confused

This is from most recent dev note.
I'm genuinely just trying to understand here. The devs provide the graph attached, and say

"We hope this statistical overview will give players food for thought and perhaps even prompt some of our most passionate balance advocates to reconsider their positions."

I'm assuming they're talking about the players complaining about Russia being more powerful. Does the graph literally not show Russia having a better win rate for ~90% of players? That Russian decks tend to have a much lower skill requirement, which inverts for like the top 90-99th percentile where the US performs better, then Russia completely outperforms in the top 1%? I'm genuinely confused how this is supposed to make people "reconsider their positions"?
