I strongly suspect they’re referring to the aspects of the UA string specific to their own device. I.e. they used an MBP (whose vintage can be intuited from its notorious keyboard problems and) which has evidently stopped receiving OS updates past 10.15. Edit to add: I also suspect they thought this was a clever way to avoid some nerd inevitably chiding them to upgrade their OS, but it’s probably too clever to achieve that.

Other engines do the same as well: https://www.otsukare.info/2021/02/15/capping-macos-user-agent https://www.otsukare.info/2021/02/15/capping-macos-user-agen...
