@STOne-32 says here that the incorrect answer comes from out-of-date information in AN4989:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

IF, instead of just "NUCLEO-G474RE VCP", I ask, "What UART is connected to the STLink VCP on NUCLEO-G474RE?" - it does give the correct answer:

It still gives the wrong answer for the original question:
