Weird email saying my Apple ID was used

It’s weird because I did download the app mentioned in the email, but it was from my regular device same as always. In fact, I download a bunch of apps at the same time and I only got the email for that one. It’s defiantly not a device who’s “not previously been used”.

”You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.”

Needless to say I haven’t and my password is still my password.

So basically what I’m asking is, wtf?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15
