> "it's" instead of the more correct "its".

"It's" = Contraction of "it is"

"Its" = possessive (but the origin long ago was also a contraction, that is a grammatical rabbit hole)

So "its" here is not just *more correct*, it is *correct*. The use of the contraction here is not *less correct*, it is *incorrect*. --Cheers!
