This is not about rating a puzzle, it is about the outrageous move Qf5+. Did you make that up? Or did you get the diagram wrong?
It's clearly duck invasion time. On your guard!
Ok, so it's black to move. Still, shouldn't be a 2000 rated puzzle
maybe it was a typo and it was supposed to be a 200 rated puzzle.
I am a 2000 puzzle player and although most of the puzzles are difficult we occasionally get the easiest mate in ones or free queens, maybe chess.com thinks that we will overthink it???
I think chess.com thinks you will rush and take with the queen and get taken by the rook, still should be a 600 puzzle

Apparently, almost 40% of solvers fail it. How? Why? Nobody knows.
I think the reason a lot of people fail it is because it seems too obvious and they suspect a better tactic is present than just taking the queen. Probably a bunch if people making “hope” moves that lead to what could be something they don’t see all the way through. But yeah, the rating does that make sense
Of* and doesn’t make sense*

I know! It's the same people who fail to place their left foot in front of their right foot when accomplishing walking.
