I think it would have looked better if they chose a machine grey fan as well.

That is not a SFF card. It's a full sized card only slightly shorter then regular.

It's sad how the quality of writing on Tom's has deteriorated over the years. Writers that don't even know SFF cards are "half height" cards.

You are mistaken. While THG is sheit these days, only seeming to "review" stuff they have promo links for, SFF gaming rigs are full hight, but shorter lenth. I still have a shuttle PC from 20 years ago here that will run Windows XP. The card is maybe 180mm long but normal full slot hight (2U correct?)

My real concern is why are they reviewing a card that the chip for it isn't even in production, and hasnt been for months. All 4xxx chips were stopped for the production of 5xxx stuff.

It can be both, SFF cards are miniaturized versions of full length cards. Usually this means low profile but sometimes a half length card will count. Those cubes are not SFF cases, those are just regular micro ATX cases.

Here is what someone could use for a real SFF case

This *might* fit if the case had a side orientated GPU, the price is insane though so do not buy it.

Silverstone makes some of the best real SFF cases in existence. Kind of pricy but they have good aesthetics that fit in with most room decors.

The whole reason to go consumer SFF is because you do not want an glowing RGB puke monstrosity standing out in a room. Living rooms, media rooms and such. The other reason is to make an appliance but that's not really something a consumer will be doing.
