I'd file that under "doesn't know what they're doing" because the search console uses a totally different user-agent (Google-InspectionTool) and the site is blindly treating it the same as Googlebot :P

Presumably they are just matching on *Google* and calling it a day.

Sure, but maybe there are other ways to control Googlebot in a similar fashion. Maybe even with a pristine looking User-Agent header.
