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.
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.
