If he was waving with a towel and leaning back and forth the way he did there now, people would laugh at him saying his performance sucks . If he made such little steps from side to side, they would say he just shitted his pants. If he was lipsynching the chorus in such obvious way today, people would call for his retirement.
IMO, this is the obvious case were the people decided to idealize the past and they can't see any mistakes he made. Which is funny because back in the day when these 2002 performances were new, people used to complain about them the same way they complain about his recent performances, saying they miss 1999 Eminem so much. In other words, he won't please some people with his recent stuff unless he dies unexpectedly. Then I'm sure we would see the biggest hypocrisy in the showbiz since MJ's death.
