Because these are normal instructions.
If you do multiplication using mul instead of loop and add, is it acceleration too?

Yes.
The article would then be "MUL-accelerated multiplication". Obviously any modern compiler should not require a developer to make that optimization.
What does "normal instructions" mean? I don't see (or missed) a heading with "Normal" in the ESP32 docs.
Edit: Or are you saying the instruction called out by the author is not SIMD?
