Saddle to bar drop has nothing to do with a sloping top tube; the bars and saddle would have the same drop if the TT were level, of course, because they’re set for the rider’s preferred location.
Like I said, the bike looks short (chainstays & wheelbase) and steep (headtube angle); it doesn’t look like what I’d call comfort geometry, but it could just be a trick of the camera angle making me think that.
It’s also confusing if Lynskey billed it a light tourer, as there are no rack or fender mounts, either.
Maybe we’re confusing model info here?
