In some sense, making your rejected paper public can protect against a reviewer copy-pasying the review. You can point out the fact that this is just copy-pasted, with all the critiques already addressed, and any half-awake AC will disregard said reviewer.

If the paper reinvents the wheel, they should indicate that clearly to the authors, pointing out which results are superseded. This AC just says "here's a bunch of papers you didn't cite, figure out whether this is new or not."
