I've had a quick look at those bags. They seem to do two types, one has an Oxo-degradable additive which is currently being banned in the EU[1] because all it does is break the bag down into microplastics. The visible litter problem may be reduced but it's not a good solution to anything.
Their other bags, the light green ones, are only industrial compostable. They will stay as a plastic bag unless they go down the correct waste stream.
People leaving their dog poo bags has been a problem for years, in the UK they are know as Dog Poo Trees and are disgusting.
