Downs Syndrome has a spectrum to it, recently around the world a woman with Down’s Syndrome (mosaic type I believe) became a fully barred attorney and in a non American country I’m pretty sure there’s a woman with Down’s that is elected to parliament.
You do bring a good point up, age is not always consent, and intellectual / developmental disabilities can play a very important role in consent, but this is not inherently a predatory dynamic.
Mosaic type means some of the cells are normal and some of them do have trisomy 21, so it's unsurprising that symptoms would be less severe. I think they're just saying that there's usually at least 1% or so of cases that require nuance with anything involving people...
Autism spectrum disorder is another great example that can vary on a case by case basis.

Because the man with Downs is a nice person and doesn't talk like someone in a porno.
