That is because in config/common/di/logger.php there is StreamTarget::class outputs all levels regardless of verbosity v|vv|vvv, --verbose. Ideally, by default in console it should react to verbosity flags to change log output levels.

Research direction
Start with config/common/di/logger.php and inspect how StreamTarget is configured for console output. Trace the console runner's verbosity flags and related logging entry points to determine the expected level filtering. Done means default console commands no longer print error details unless the appropriate verbosity level is enabled.
