The author is rather ambivalent about ArtScroll; on the one hand the line
*is* included in their siddur, but he writes on the other hand that they

It seems that the author did not notice what was done in the ArtScroll Rosh
Hashana Machzor (1985), where the line is included *without* parentheses in
the Musaf Amidah (both silent and repetition), yet keeps the parentheses in
the version of Alenu at the very end of Musaf. A clue to their decision
might be found in the comments on page 500 (in the Chazan's repetition):
