      I’m curious why the article doesn’t consider the possibility that this is a non-accreting black hole.

      A million solar masses is well within the range for SMBHs, if it’s isolated from surrounding matter it would be dark, and there are definitely ways it could be come isolated (EG a SMBH might be ejected from a galaxy after a galactic collision)
