It's common for headlines to be like this person : what they said. For example (article chosen randomly) www.reuters.com/business/aut...

That is an entirely different type of headline with a quote. Ours is not a quote. This is basic English.

Just saying this is a bit confusing. I quickly understood but not the best if you want to increase readership. Anyway it's fine I don't want to argue on this.

There is nothing confusing about the headline 😆 it’s a super basic statement of fact
