>After two days of intense public interest, iFixit has removed our teardown of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold.

But... you are ifixit?

This is just phrasing.

Read as "We at iFixit have"...

Then it shouldn't mix first and third person in the same sentence. "ifixit (they) have removed our review". Makes no sense. It sounds like they are two different entities.
The author of this blog post is speaking as a representative of iFixit.

If you were authorized to represent CBRZY Inc, you could write a blog post and include the phrase "CBRZY Inc have published our comment suggesting that a representative writing for us shouldn't speak in third person." without sounding awkward.

Then the post should not be anonymously signed as "ifixit staff".

So something got posted online without first consulting Grammarly. It's just a venial sin, not a mortal one.
