Did you read that link? Group 2 is pretty poorly explained to laypeople, Aloe Vera is listed as "Possibly carcinogenic", 2B.
High concentration and quantity and long term exposure to glyphosate is probably bad for the farmers spraying, but their listing of glyphosate is completely irrelevant for the consumer buying a crop that was sprayed with it. They never once mention any danger to consumers in that entire article.
Even in that limited case (occupational hazard), the data is mixed, and the IARC says that the US AHS study of 50k pesticide applicators did not find a correlation between cancer and glyphosate. They say that doesn't overrule the other findings.
They are being hyperconservative for the safety of workers. That literally doesn't apply to you, the consumer.
