One thing the article didn't explain was why none of the other much larger
neutrino detectors have never seen anything like this?

Is there something unique about the Mediterranean detector that would
enable it to detect neutrinos of this energy level while other detectors
could not?

In similar neutrino detections of energetic events, such a supernova, all
the neutrino detectors on earth lit up at the same time. Would we not
expect something similar if a nearby black hole evaporated?
