No, the point is large numbers unscrupulous people puffing up their CVs with LLM-generated 'reviews' (namely, a survey of the state of their field) as arXiv preprints that are more or less a bland intellectual gruel. No one needs the arXiv to host uncounted numbers of these, and the arXiv doesn't want to either. They wouldn't get accepted in a journal. Any actually commissioned review by a leading figure that gives real insight—the kind of thing you'd get in Bulletin AMS—is perfectly welcome.

At least, that's my understanding.
