The community really didn't seem that upset about things when this originally broke, and team 0% told people to not go after the level maker, but here we fucking go anyway. I'm afraid all these clickbait headlines are going to bring down a stupid, unwarranted shitstorm on the poor guy who made the level.
He made it as a farewell gift to the Super Mario Maker community after making a bunch of other super hard levels that people regularly accused of being TAS'd (cheated) but weren't, as proven when someone would eventually beat it.
Trimming the herbs was meant as a proof of concept joke to show that TAS'ing was possible on Switch hardware. He was planning on revealing it far far earlier, but life happened, he forgot, and left the scene. He didn't realize that it might become the final boss of this shit. As soon as he realized he reached out to team 0%.
This isn't some scandal with some nefarious evildoer "coming clean". Just an unfortunate joke that hit the wrong place wrong time. This isn't bittersweet. It just means they hit the goal earlier than expected.
I swear drama chasers are going to make this into a problem that doesn't need to be, and doesn't seem to be a problem for the actual people involved.
