We’ve had engineered hits from committees dominating pop music for decades now. This doesn’t seem any less authentic, and apparently people like it.
Really, what’s the difference between this and virtual bands like Gorillaz?

That remains to be seen. The early plays were bought to get the recommendations. (Tens of thousands of plays, but all within ~100 of each other for the less popular tracks) We really don't know how many people listened to this yet.
The comparison is that they are both fictional bands. The received popularity of the music is irrelevant.
Did you not understand the point of the GP?
(No, I didn't get what comparison was being made. It's so different I didn't realise anyone would do that)
