I think the commentator’s reasoning is that being at +120% against Bowser like being at 1hp in a traditional fighter; if your opponent hits you with something as quick or simple as jab... (or in this case side-b, an unblockable move that comes out faster than jab that will kill at ~120% ANYWHERE on stage regardless of DI) ...you will be KO’d.

the casters also don't get it that the person with lower % controls the DI of bowser side-B

This Bowser, the playstyle feels very unorthodox to me. But I like it a lot. Normally, the way I see Bowser being played is very actively with constant movement, relying on his newfound mobility to pick up momentum in the neutral. But we saw almost none of that here. The way LeoN played may not have been especially entertaining, but the strategy proved smart and the execution tight. The amount of time LeoN spent in shield is striking, to put it lightly. His gameplan was totally reactive, waiting for Juice to take the offensive - and Juice was happy to oblige - while simply preying on small spacing mistake and overextensions, punishing mainly with aerials or side-B out of shield. His patience was great, sometimes too great to the point where he'd get shieldpoked for it, but it was ultimately rewarded. It seems Juice just could't figure out how to deal with Bowser's defense and LeoN's punished with amazing accuracy. He connected so many side-B's...
