I suppose it could also have to do with difficulty adjustments? But to wait for the difficulty to adjust, you'd have to maintain your lead on the public chain for a long time.

It could have to do with when the selfish miner releases their chaintip because most miners will mine on the tip with the most work and will discard tips with less work.
IIRC the claim isn't about double spending below 51%. It's about disrupting the chain's progress indefinitely with 33%.
