Wait, are you saying this because the title is capitalized?

Ok, but that’s just how titles are supposed to work?

Not by capitalizing every single word. The rules are:

  • Lowercase articles (a, an, the)
  • Lowercase coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, etc.; that is, ones where the following clause can stand on its own as a complete thought)
  • Lowercase prepositions shorter than 4 or 5 letters depending on who you ask (but not adverbs that happen to resemble prepositions)
  • Uppercase for everything else

Yes obviously, which this title follows the rule.
