Shooot its a Chy'Na supplier shipping in a JiffyPack. So what if its anodized aluminum, its light weight right?
I used to use titanium in drag stuff years past in one of my builds, it was insane high 2003-2005, but even in todays inflated prices it seems like its cheaper than it was back then. It seems the price kinda climbed thru about 2008 and then over the next 10 years got cheaper and cheaper. Now post covid era, i think Ti is about where it was 20 years ago maybe but there are so many people using it, its available in almost anything from anywhere.
These china suppliers running parts thru warehouses full of CNC machines are making parts for pennies. Its been a while but i saw HAAS post a picture of a company in China, it was a building the size of a super walmart, easily 2+ acres of floor space that was packed wall to wall with HAAS CNCs, bar feeders, ect spitting out parts. These bolts might be a low quality Ti, they are so cheap you can always order one and put it to the grinder test and see what color is sparks before buying a bunch of them. Being from Chy'Na you are not going to get factual PSI yields or any of that but if you are just trying to look pretty they will likely do anything you would need and be as light as aluminum.
