Are they apologizing? Was it a bug? Why did they make this decision and what's the end goal? It's so unclear from the message - as evidenced by a lot of the responses.

They did say it's a bug that they even caught during testing yet somehow let go through. Author of the issue mentioned this on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47994193
"AI attribution by default" was an intentional feature, but there were also bugs. This is why the post is so unclear.
Probably because it's a PM who coded that bug, so no contest.
Who vibe coded it because who needs coders nowadays anyway.
