Again, it seems we are arguing because of our subjective differences in the title correctness and rigor. Personally, I would not expect such title even from a pop-math type article. At least it should be more obvious from the title.
"Transcendental" or even "irrational" isn't a vibesy category like "mysterious" or "beautiful", it's a hard mathematical property. So a headline that flatly labels a number "transcendental" while simultaneously admitting "not even proven" inside the article, looks more like a clickbait.
Not sure why you would think that anyone thinks that transcendental is a "vibesy" category, or why you would think that you are more invested in the "hardness" of mathematical properties than anyone else here.
You clearly still don't understand. And to call the title "clickbait" is pretty silly.
