They aren't telling you that they are recording. The exact phrasing is normally, "This call may be recorded", not "X Corp may be recording this call"

The former can be interpreted as explicit consent to record the call, after all they provided the consent, but you actually haven't.

Right but that's less important than telling the other party that anyone might be recorded. Because, again, spirit of the law, it loosens expectations of privacy.

Given there are only two parties on the call, only one needs their consent solicited anyway.
