Note that the problematic sponge in the twitter post was over the CD, so not touching the CD data surface.
But i agree that protective sponges or "soft-mats" to put under CD are a strange idea. Was their purpose to kind of "clean the CD" while it was being stored?
The more contact with any material the CD has, the more scratching risk it gets (as any unwanted material on this data surface would be even pushed further against it with this).
