That's an upstream, and it is defined right afterwards:
> and are available in the main Raspberry Pi Linux repository
Hardly misleading. It clearly says "Raspberry Pi" and it doesn't say "main Linux repository". They could've added the word 'kernel' but then again I suppose it is a general Raspberry Pi git repo. Merging the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel repo with Torvalds' mainline isn't their responsibility.
That's not to say this whole thing isn't an advertisement though. This whole balenaOS and balenaCloud thing is some kind of frontend for Docker and the like, but have you seen the Pricing?
I'll just patiently wait for Raspbian Aarch64/ARM64 version instead :)

It already is a huge improvement. So when it goes full 64 bit and all the memory is accessible, it'll give a second bump to that experience of improvement.
