“How is he dismissing the way they conducted themselves?”
My understanding of his comment (correct me if I’m mistaken) is that since Rav SZ and Rav Elyashiv were from the long ago Yishuv haYashan Perushim of Yerushlayim where all women went covered as per the no longer relevant minhag and tekanahs from those long ago times. And way back then that was still the overall custom that we have long since discarded.
My objection is the assumption that the minhagim Yisroel from the Yishuv haYashan Perushim of Yerushlayim, who were not that long ago and whom everyone reading this lived in the times of people from the Yishuv (like Rav Elyashiv), are irrelevant and no longer binding practice on those from those communities and communities with similar minhagim.
