From your second link a commenter actually steps through the flow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21116981

It seems pretty clear from that description that the user consents to signing...

I think it’s annoying to see wallet and chat when all I really cared about was a discoverable public key, but it doesn’t appear to be a backdoor signing method.

The guy you're replying to is the one who wrote the misleading blogpost that was (rightfully flagged) in link [2]. I think it's likely that if he's still grinding this axe 7 months after a very reasonable explanation was given by Keybase, he's not going to change his mind now.

No, the consent modal is for generation of the wallet keys. It says nothing about the fact that if you agree to make a wallet, it will then use your keybase identity keys (different keys, not the shitcoin keys you consented to generate) to sign the attestation and permanently affix the resulting ad for Stellar to your profile.
