Okay, I’m the first to get annoyed at LLM-ese. But language requires the ability to say that something is A and not B. There are certain phrasings of that that are painfully Claude-esque, but ffs the one you quoted is the type of thing an actual human being is just as likely to say.

I don’t get why that construction is associated with Claude. I’ve never picked it up from reading Claude output.

As a English-as-a-second-language speaker I’ve been using that formation long before llm and it has legitimate usage

Claude has a specific version that typically starts with “it’s” or even more often “that’s”. It takes the construction “That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.” and applies it to absolutely everything.
