The authors are not native English speakers (and what you’re seeing in the name is not something most non native English speakers would spot).

I understand it’s funny to point and laugh “ha ha dumb dudes didn’t think about something female related because they’re dudes”, but it’s worth remembering that not everyone is from the anglosphere.

Also you might find this normal but I cannot imagine my female colleagues being amused at me calling one of them up asking to “consult” about a name solely because she’s a woman.
