I think they're both testing very different things. The pelican test is testing if a LLM can come up with visuals on its own via writing bezier curves directly.
This is testing if it can match visuals that have already been established, and represent them with all the tools available to a web developer. The ramen example was chosen in particular because there are a lot of things that aren't easy to do with CSS, and require creative strategies: 45deg button cuts, angular repeating pattern elements, blending of raster art and svgs, microglyphs, low contrast subtle elements, etc.
Don't ask yourself whether it's a good design, as yourself whether it's a good test.
