Agreed. "got" is more informal and less universal across variants of the English language than "become". Bad editing.

Given "got" is used in both British and American English and "gotten" is used only in American English (I do not think it is used in other variants either) I do not agree about "universal"

I meant to agree that "become" should have been used instead.
