Most of the conditions involved in condensation seem laboratory-reproducible, so I would imagine these conclusions are on a pretty solid empirical base. Not my specialty, though.

What if we turn the question around- Why wouldn't liquid iron/titanium droplets form around particulates on hot Jupiters - just as they do on Earth and Venus?
