I find it amazing that none of all the extraordinary claims made on this site has ever triggered a similar amount of criticism than an almost completely irrelevant change to the layout.

The SIAI and their views get their fair share of criticism here, IMHO.
I agree. Also, while reality is not graded on a curve, SIAI certainly gets more and better-received criticism than the vast majority of people/organizations get on their own blogs.

Hypothesis: Measured in terms of either comment count or word count there has been more criticism of the unusual claims of the SIAI by XiXiDu alone than all discussion of the layout change. (Especially if limited to changes to the layout, as per XiXiDu’s claim but also if we include all discussion of changes to user behavioural abilities, which seem to be far more controversial.
ie. There is a significant chance that your premise is false.
