That 737 that was holding probably didn't have a HGS, and needed an RVR of 1600. That's the difference. Either way, they were both following the rules.

Its a little more simple, an LPV is considered a non precision approach, most operators have an Ops spec for 50% charted vis approach ban for non precision, which is 1200 RVR in YOW and else where with 200' minimums. But yes everyone is following the rules for their plane and operator.
