What's up with the The Merfolk Salvager's (GoS) melee attacks don't specify that they're "Weapon Attacks". Is there a reason for this?

I noticed that both of the two attack actions a Merfolk Salvager Merfolk Salvager (GoS, p.244) has do not specify that they are Weapon attacks.:

Coral Rapier. Melee Attack: +4 to hit, etc.

Inject Toxin (2/Day). Melee Attack: +4 to hit, etc.

I've scoured the MM, the MToF, and some others but this seems to be a first for any monster. It's also not mentioned in the GoS ErrataGoS Errata. Does anyone know if there's a reason for this? 

Is this a slip of the pen, or is there a reason behind it.? Also, how would this affect the use of this monster?

The attacks in question are:

Coral Rapier. Melee Attack: +4 to hit, etc.

Inject Toxin (2/Day). Melee Attack: +4 to hit, etc.
