Workshop paper accepted, reviewers asked new experiments [D]

Hi everyone, I submitted a paper to a workshop co-located with a top conference. The paper was accepted, but reviewers are requesting additional experiments. The issue is that there's no second review phasem, I only need to submit a camera-ready version.

My question is: what's the point of requesting new experiments at this stage? The request essentially bypasses the peer review process entirely.

Has anyone dealt with this situation before? Should I run the experiments anyway, ignore the request, or reach out to the workshop chairs for clarification?
