They aren't arguing against open science, they are trying to educate you on the history of science. It's always been this way.
Also, your third paragraph is highly ironic.

Always been what way? And how does that contrast to what Tao said (since it was apparently "a misstatement of mathematical history")?

You'll have to be more specific, since I engaged with my parent's argument, while they waved away Tao's quote by suggesting he was wrong because of exactly the kind of events that helped lead to the norms and mores working mathematicians have today.
