This isn't real right? I've never seen this before in cats

Looks like either a Korat or a Russian blue with either a filter or blueish lighting. They are grey with green eyes, but the only ones I've seen with this shade have the same blue cast to the photos this one does.

I don’t even think they put that much effort in. I think they just took a photoshop brush and painted on the tint. The green bleeds onto their inner eyelids.

Omg you're right.

I used to have a Russian blue. Such beautiful cats

Why do cats evolved to have variation in eye colours compared to other species? Humans have variation but don't think as many as cats.

Far more distinct variation in cat breeds in general, along with a whole lot of selective breeding by humans.
