Yeeeeah, I don't know abou that. Typically the copy only lists the pieces not included in the base game. Here for Expedition 33:
Or here for Khazan:
Listing vanilla content separately from the base game in the same list as the deluxe content without a clear distinction on what you're paying for where seems very unorthodox. I was certainly confused. At the very least it's bad copywriting, and at worst an attempt to get people to go for the more expensive version by misrepresenting its value.
I just said it wasn't unusual in my experience. I haven't ordered a special edition of a game in a few years, but I remember press release graphics of everything that comes in an edition, even if some of that stuff is not exclusive to that edition.
Not one of the graphics I mentioned, but here's an example of what I mean: https://support.square-enix-games.com/s/article/000001061
I just don't think that any confusion on that page is as intentional as you believe it is. The same Steam page indicates that the DLC is included in the base game.
