It is there for me on Arch linux. Distro package.

Edit: Based on your comment about going to the website to get the software. Maybe you are a windows user?

Maybe all package managers default to libtorrent 2.0.X, but that's not true when downloading from the website.

Maybe you are a windows user?

Close enough... Got MacOS, Windows and EndeavourOS and there's also an appimage available on their site so it's not only because you're a "Windows user".

I guess you run a bit of everything, but I couldn't tell you what every distro is doing with their package manager. All I know is I installed it the same way as most other things on linux using the distro repos and let those guys sort out what versions should be used. I just wanted to point out that the original commenter wasn't necessarily wrong. That I could in fact follow their instructions and it was there for me as indicated by the screenshot with no further action from me.
