Seems like a odd choice
No AWS or Azure?

This support is provided at no cost, reflecting Akamai's commitment to giving back to the open-source community.
Sounds like it wasn't a choice so much as one of the biggest CDNs in the world giving a free hand out to a project it relies on itself.
Anyways a lot of companies use Akamai, I don't think its odd.

I'm once again asking for FOSS website to not use AI slop.

Tux has paint on his face and extra arms!

Paint. Yes. That's what I saw. Paint.

Next up: AI generated distro

Provide them the art for free, on-demand, and they might stop doing it.

I wonder how they managed until a fucking year ago.

does the art (be it ai or made by human) adds to the content or is it superfluous? If true, then why even bother with ai slop as a cover image?

Slop isn't free. Not only does it look bad and drive away visitors, they almost certainly used an AI trained on unlicensed (i.e. stolen) artwork. There is no free lunch here.

Introducing using the projects logos. It's more informative and clearer. I take me 5 sec to make an edit with krita and I'm not even good at it.
There is also a metric shit-ton of free assets available from Wikimedia and others sources.
