Where did they promise FULL XP? They promised full progression, which you have, you can unlock everything vs bots. Getting Full XP vs bots only is totally unfair if you then play multiplayer later.
It was definitely advertised before release. They said Portal would feature full progression, and while some extreme experiences would be limited, their threshold for limiting XP would be much more lenient than in 2042. This would imply that servers that give bots 1 HP while tripling player HP would probably be limited, but servers that are running official experiences with bot backfill would not be.
I was on the fence about this game, and that assurance was one of the things that encouraged me to buy it. Bot backfill is nice because it gives me at least something to do if my server isn't getting up, and I don't want to play 5v5 on Rush or something. 5v5 with the rest of the spots being taken by bots is playable and sometimes fun though. They straight up lied to us, and the thread is appropriately named as a betrayal. If they don't revert this it is false advertising.
