What is the issue?

https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/27723 was adding a new subfeature, with only Firefox supporting it, but although experimental was set to false, the linter did not complain about it.
See: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/27723#discussion_r2318428285
What behavior were you expecting?

I would have expected that the linter reports the wrong experimental status.
What version(s) of BCD is the issue present in?

[ ] The current BCD release
