The context in which this happened matters a lot.

There have been tensions between the FIDE organization and top players like Carlsen since the latter have been promoting an alternative chess organization around Freestyle chess (aka Chesss960), which has slightly different rules.

I.e. this is less about "dress code enforcement" and it is more about "Carlsen is fed up with the FIDE organization in general".

Also the context is Magnus wasn’t best at this tournament. He was somewhere in middle in table and had less chances of converting. He has history of throwing tantrums when on tilt (Seinqfield 2022)

How come? I thought he was the best in the world by a fair margin.

He is by far the best in all formats but there is some luck in chess and the best player doesn't always win - like in most competitive games/sports.

Luck is an interesting way of phrasing what can be simply described as pure neurological deficiencies. Your opponents brain forgot to go down a crazy sacrifice line which was actually M6. Is that luck?

Or is it a comparative grey matter evaluation in time and pressure constraints?

With our current understanding of biology, if I model outcomes probabilistically (luck) and you model them any other non-equivalent way then I'll be more successful predicting those outcomes. The philosophy behind it is interesting, but "luck" isn't a bad way to describe what's happening to a layman when Carlsen loses.
