Just because something is posted here doesn't mean it was posted by the creator, or that the creator intended this place to be the primary audience.
People do all sorts of crazy and incomprehensible things. The rule simply wants to prevent someone from going "I'm artist X actually, here's my patreon, don't worry about how I manage to complete comms in a day for half the price of my other patreon", or mimicking someone's style to gen contentious content (foalcon, politics, whatever) and pretend the artist did it themselves (something that's happened surprisingly often with just normal style emulation).
We aren't going to ask for prompts or workflows here. Just simply, if you're going to use an existing artist's style for an image, don't intentionally try to pass it off as their actual work *for any reason*.
