What happened?

I followed the section on Testing on a mobile device to run Lighthouse on a URL on a Moto Power G.

The exact command I ran was

lighthouse \
  --port=9222 \
  --screenEmulation.disabled \
  --throttling-method=devtools \
  --throttling.cpuSlowdownMultiplier=1 \
  --no-emulatedUserAgent \
  --view \
  --print-config \
  SOME_URL

I see Lighthouse load the page in Chrome on the phone. However, in the report it says "Emulated Moto G4 with Lighthouse 9.6.8":

What did you expect?

The LH page would say "Testing on a real device with Lighthouse 9.6.8", or even "Testing on physical Moto Power G device with Lighthouse 9.6.8"
