They could've written text in Mandarin and used an LLM (or any other translation tool) to translate it to English, which wouldn't have introduced the LLM writing style.

They didn't, so the reason isn't that English isn't their first language, it's that they didn't want to spend time writing text. In which case I don't understand how this is different from a native English speaker doing the same thing.

Who cares? Even if it’s LLM generated (which is not 100% sure, I’m pretty sure I could have written this description with bold keywords myself), the text is dense and easy to read. Rejecting LLM output without even thinking about the content doesn’t make any sense.

I've seen free tier Claude introduce LLM writing tells even when it's just prompted for translation. Gotta be careful with that.

It doesn't matter. The site is fine.
