That's using a camel, but it's not anything like the O'Reilly camel and that in itself is what some people find a bit confusing.
In Open Letter to Tim O’Reilly to Free the Perl CamelI feel like an "open letter" is a pretty odd way to ask something of the maintainers of distributions that do not install GNOME with its stock Adwaita theme. Indeed, despite being created some two weeks ago, the (small) notice at the top that this particular open letter is aimed only at distribution maintainers was only added yesterday[1].
How many do so, anyway? I know Ubuntu has the Yaru[2] theme by default.
I'll add that I personally find the stock Adwaita theme to be total garbage. I've been using the Vimix dark themes[3] for as long as I can remember because they don't make the title bar of windows 30 storeys tall and they don't use beige.
