I feel like a fact like this is supposed to be pointed out by a fan theorist whereas an author doing it just means it should have been explained better in-universe.
As the author says, it's a detail you don't need to notice. If you spot it, great, it adds a little depth to the scene, if you don't, you're not missing anything that will change your perception of the outcome of the scene.
A lot of media, especially visual media like this, rewards more detailed examination.
As opposed to the netflix approach of "tell the audience what's up 50 times because they aren't really paying attention and that's the audience we want to pander to".
Personally I have a lot more love for media that respects its audience enough to not spoon feed everything and I especially love seeing things you'd only catch if you know the context well but isn't zoomed in on to make sure everyone catches it, but just there to either catch or not. It's like the cinematic equivalent of walking away from an explosion without looking at it.
A lot of times, in a lot of design(art, architecture, instruments, etc.) you don’t actually need to have the reasoning shoved in your face for the depth to be added to the scene. Depth of design can still be felt by the onlooker/user without knowing the rational.
The author saying it themselves sounds absolutely dickish to be honest, like "heyy check out this smart detail I added that probably none of you noticed!"
It's very vain.
