Actually he does.   He says that he doesn't understand what heter the
chassidim had to change their nusach, and he cites and dismisses two
such alleged heterim.  However, you are correct that despite this

In other words although he can't think of a heter he assumes they must
have had one, and also a good reason, and therefore he won't second-guess
them.
