 They haven't mined a block yet?  How did they censor a transaction? 
 "I'm assuming this guy is talking about their candidate  blocks?  

"Over the next year, I will be redesigning the process of block template construction"

- Luke Dashjr

This is on OCEAN's webpage.  So maybe because they haven't been in charge of constructing blocks since 2017 they know they have work to do to maximize the efficiency of transaction fees on their candidate blocks.

IDK seems like people looking to hate.  But what do I know?  I'm just making some assumptions..  
 The Ocean pool uses not Bitcoin Core to create the block template, they use the Knots implementation from luke.

This implementation doesn’t accept ordinals transactions, which means they are not included in the template for the miners.

This means miners of the ocean pool are getting less rewards
