HN has no "doctrinaire" rule about exact original titles. The rule is this: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Note that word "unless". Since the original title was linkbaity, I replaced it in accordance with the rule.
That's not editorializing, because it's using the article's own language and is a more accurate and neutral description of the article. Editorializing is when a submitter takes advantage of the title field to convey their own view of an article.
