The image is blurry and the colours are dithered. This really looks good to you? https://i.imgur.com/r3HZWyG.png

It looks like its been compressed and made suitable for a web page where the image quality of that screenshot is pretty much irrelevant to everything.

Which seeing as they used it for a 400x248 image in the blogpost is pretty much exactly on point.

That was probably just a poor attempt by whoever edited the screenshot to de-emphasize the app in the background and highlight the actual permission dialog.

The permission dialog is also blurry and dithered. It's just barely noticeable because it's mostly white, but it's there also.

They might have saved as a 256 color GIF (resulting in the dithering) before re-encoding to PNG.
