XSS is categorically not an RCE and my point is that mitigations exist which make "It allows you to run any action as if you were the owner of the account" an unwarranted assumption. The writeup shows that it's possible to pop an alert box. That doesn't tell you anything about what's actually possible. Obviously Discord got enough information to take it seriously, but extrapolating that to suggest every third-party using Mintlify is vulnerable to account takeover is highly dubious based on what's presented.
Well, llmslave2 is right. If discord.com executes javascript to conduct user actions, and you can execute javascript on discord.com, you are acting on the account as if you were discord.com
How is XSS not remote code execution? You can do anything, from send fetch requests to the server with full credentials to loggging keystrokes or even open a tunnel and eval payloads...
Anything the user can do, you can do via an XSS attack.
