If 0.02 is the JND of deltaEOK, how come everybody is getting results an order of magnitude smaller? Even the author himself (at https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/too-much-color/) says they get 0.0028, but never elaborate on the significance of that result.

JND is an average. A lot of people will do a lot worse. The measure, as I understand it, is also under different test conditions, while this is a game where people are on their own and able to - for example - tilt their head trying to find the exact angle to see the difference.
