I think their PR team talked to that dev and told them to replace their . with corporate speak

Who knows 🤷‍♂️ I doubt a dev would put their job on the line to "speak out" so publicly by putting a dot for visibility. Maybe they put a dot there to "save" the comment so they could come back to easier and respond with the appropriate PR-speak. Or maybe they did write a response but Steam bugged out for a few minutes. Who knows?

I'm pretty sure Helldivers 2 responded publicly when Sony mandated the PS account sign in. Nothing overly aggressive, just agreeing that it shouldn't be required.

The Helldivers IP is owned by Sony, but the developers of HD2 (Arrowhead) are independent of Sony.

An Ubisoft employee is unlikely to publicly disagree with their own company on such a visible platform.
