LinkedIn went significantly out of their way to position and format that page to phish people. I used to fall for it periodically because I just assumed I'd been signed out and my linkedin credentials were pre-filled in waiting to fail to gain access to my email fortunately. That is the heart of it.
If they'd put a 40pt font message, or simply not positioned the "other" email + password sign in screen straight after the "real" email + password sign in screen, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
The most damning part is that's not even what they're being sued for - they're being sued for another way they scammed their way into people's email accounts.
