its silly that someone who solo-publishes a paper still needs to refer to themselves as "we" cool paper

It is silly. The guy may just want to avoid standing out or drawing attention to themselves. "I" is more appropriate for any solo paper. If the author really can't bring themselves to write "I", then they should just avoid the first-person entirely.

(Or maybe this is a field-specific thing. This guy is in a math dept, and I can only speak from the perspective of the social sciences)
