The way tent capacity is calculated is by the maximum number of people that can fit when arranged head-to-foot with nothing else in the tent.

I don't know what else to tell you. You can definitely fit 2 people into 2 person tent, but most people like the extra space. If you don't want to leave gear outside, if you have to spend a half day waiting out a storm, or if want to just sprawl out a little bit... Size up.
Nobody is going to be backpacking the deep backwoods with this thing anyway if you're car camping, there's no little reason not to get something a little bigger.

Are you saying this isn't a backpacking tent or are you saying that you should get a bigger tent if car camping?

A backpacker would get a half or quarter dome with a full rainfly because you can then put your pack in the vestibule and use the entire tent for sleeping. Such two person tents actually fit two people. Our scout troop uses them all the time. Those tents also leak less because rain never hits the inner wall.
Car campers generally don't care about tent size/weight so a larger tent would likely be more comfortable.
This seems like it is meant to be a cheap tent parents would get for kids so they can have the larger tent to themselves.

Maybe the person who wants to try backpacking and intends to upgrade after a few uses? I'll never buy a tent with fiberglass poles again, they don't last, they break instead of bend and generally are inferior. Look for closeouts at dicks, I scored a sierra designs full moon 2 for $110.
Sure this tent is fine, but not really a deal, you can get a sierra designs, wenzel, Coleman, stansport basic dome tent with fiberglass poles for this price at target.
You may technically have space at the foot and a few inches on the sides, but with every square inch covered with pads and gear, and the walls angled in, it'll feel cramped pretty quick.
Think of it like a Smart Car. A lot of people could technically fit in one, must folks would be more comfortable in something even a little bit bigger.
Shaq drives a smart car... apparently they're pretty roomy 😂

My general rule is to meet the stated capacity for most tents, the occupants had better be either a) children or b) extremely close friends.

I got an REI Passage 2 on sale for under $100 (~$80 if memory serves me correctly). That is a great entry level tent and includes a footprint. There are other decent 2 person tents out there in the $100 price range. Alps mountaineering Linx is another good example. Yes that is nearly twice the price as this tent but you get poles that dont break, full rainfly that not only keeps you drier but also has a vestibule for your gear and frees up tent space. You get much more bang for your buck.
