Surprisingly many people in the linked Reddit thread seem to think that open source license means Google can re-license the code and strip the author info.

Which is the one thing you absolutely cannot do.

I took a look at the code, and it seems the author info was in pyproject.toml which is not license.

if there was a comment that said // TODO(username) and google removed all comments, is that violating any license?

They confuse it with public domain, which means exactly that.

We were blaming Bambu Lab, but apparently Google is no different.
