But is it equivalent to withdrawing post-publication or is it more akin to not passing peer review with major revisions requested?

But have you formalized every single one of your results? And if you haven't what odds would you put on one of them not working out, if formalized?

Most mathematicians don't produce 400 papers in a 48 hour window either so I'm not sure comparisons are helpful

It’s fairly common to have errors in preprints.
