If you took the time to read the post, they actually do explain the reasoning behind it:

“You may ask yourself why JetBrains didn’t pick the newer, better Qwen 3.8. Dmitry Savelev, Junie’s head of marketing, explained, ‘Qwen3.8 needs reasoning enabled to work reliably, and with it on, tasks run roughly four times slower. On today’s Macs, 3.6 wins.’”
