Why the word order in this sentence is weird?

I guess the question mark at the end makes it weird, with a period it would make more sense, to me.

Why Vivaldi won't follow the current AI trend(.) ---> the article explains why Vivaldi will not follow the trend.

Why (won't) Vivaldi follow the current AI trend(?) ---> someone's wondering and asking why Vivaldi will not follow the trend.

Author is francophone (Belgian). This explains the order of the words. The french order would be the same "Pourquoi Vivaldi ne va pas suivre l'actuelle tendance IA"

I figured as much, but is English proficiency no longer a requirement for writing articles on an organization's official English-language website?

It's the question mark that is messing it up.
