Question about "Ce langage est courant: il est parlé couramment par de nombreuses personnes"

Is "il est parlé couramment" C1-level French grammar? (La Voix Passive Forming La Voix Passive with simple tenses in French (French Passive Voice))

I understand what it means, but if C1 why is it in an A2 grammar lesson?

Bonjour John !

Indeed, we agree that this sentence is too advanced for A2, and could therefore be more confusing and take the focus away the actual lesson point :)

We therefore decided to change it to a level-appropriate example.

Merci et bonne journée !

Incidentally, I am not complaining. I am just curious about your grammar point design choices and reasoning.
