Why is there so much vignetting?

  It's artistic.

  Only some of the sample images are vignetted; so it appears to be related to post-processing.

  Probably the author is not using digital optimized "telecentric" lenses. It's known that digital sensors are less tolerant with respect to incident angles compared to films.

    Nah, this is E-mount so all the lenses are modern. It is just that modern mirrorless lenses rely heavily on image correction.

      Maybe he was simply using an APS-C lens?

  A lot of modern (DSLR or mirrorless era) lens intentionally accept a lot of optical flaws that are easy to correct with software (e.g. vignetting; sometimes even mechanical/hard vignetting where the lens does not fully cover the sensor); to prioritise addressing flaws that are difficult to correct with software (i.e. resolution, sharpness). The software in the camera automatically correct these things before you see it; and when it's particularly bad, usually this correction cannot be disabled. On most brands, RAW will tell you something closer to what the sensor is really seeing.
