From the article:

"Play is an integral part of human evolution and learning," she says, mentioning that this is a topic she covers in her book. "Gaming, being the most refined form of play in our time, has much to offer. Instead of focusing on what gaming is not, it's more effective to showcase its true essence. The industry's effort to create a more diverse range of games, beyond merely violent and intense ones, will help showcase the broad spectrum of gaming as an expression of creativity."

How they can review a game without own it on steam?

I edited my comment, but I was wrong in that it's not the review page that gets swarmed but the comments on announcements that Arrowhead makes. Anyone can comment on an announcement (which makes sense, if [for example] it's about an upcoming feature that isn't out yet.)

I see, steam community foruns.

It's better to not go into these, full of fanboys, haters and stupid people farming fake points.

I'm guessing they buy, review, refund? Not sure if that also removes the review as I almost never refund or review games.
