Well it's still liquid cooled, so it's unlikely to be as bad as the Leaf, but as I put it, this change in the statement shows GM expects it to be worse than the Volt (probably a combination of larger SOC window and also the new NMC chemistry which on paper has worse degradation than the primarily LMO based packs of the Volt). Otherwise, I see no reason why they couldn't have just kept it at the same 30%.
Edit: I just read the reaction in the Electrek article. This is exactly why I consistently say to people that it makes zero sense for Tesla to offer a degradation warranty and that offering one is a lose-lose situation given battery degradation had never been a concern for Teslas up to this point. Most people just look at the worst number and expect that is the typical rate the battery will degrade at. You have a heck of a time trying to explain that the worst case number is just hedging for liability purposes (and it would not sound genuine coming from the manufacturer directly).
GM warns of potential battery degradation of up to 40% for Chevy Bolt EV during warranty period or 100,000 miles
