There is a difference between crediting the LLM (which i agree is silly) and disclosing the use of an LLM, which I think is important. The author seems to conflate these two.
A disclosure is appropriate whenever the reader might feel differently about the result of armed with this information. For example, "this research on the non-addictive nature of tobacco, funded by the tobacco industry".
Moreover, not citing the LLM is plagiarism. Maybe people outside academia have an oddly narrow understanding of plagiarism, and (for example) cannot understand how it is possible to plagiarize yourself. It is hard to explain the importance of citing LLM contributions to people with this view.
