This.

Nutaku implemented the whole things months in advance - by complete accident. It was in one of those re-runs that Nutaku did moooonths earlier. As such, they obviously didn't know to change that line into "being friends allows you to summon the Eidolon on turn1"

And when we got the re-run proper, of course they didn't bother changing that. They probably didn't even read the patch notes. Thanks, Nutaku.
