Would you agree a vector with this many anchor points must be a trace? And should it be reported?

I’ve just downloaded this vector image, and it has an insane amount of anchor points for what is a fairly simple design. Surely this must be a traced image and shouldn’t have passed the contributor checks? 

 

For reference it’s image 1972616912 from seller MdRezaul

    I agree, when used responsibly, auto-trace isn’t a bad tool to use. It can save hours of tedious manual labor. Problems ensue when people use it the wrong way & then submit it as a final product.

    While auto-tracing is not prohibited, assets should be rejected if they contain an excessive number of anchor points or if the shape is distorted due to having too few anchor points.
    Problematic assets will be re-reviewed by moderators.
