In this context, "8-bit" is a well understood name of an art style. In this context, it's well understood that this has nothing to do with the bus width of processor architecture or misc color/data bit widths.
Think of it as a label like "modern art", which is art from 1860s to the 1970s.

#4Last time I checked its canvas size was quite small. One could not construct minecraft like landscapes in it.

Sure, but they're already saying "Voxel", which seems to be a better, more specific term here.

Technically accurate and precise specificity is rarely a goal when marketing a product. Their target audience will be using "8-bit" in their search terms.

The tag line is on the site says:

Is the sentence in some way more clear with the modifier '8-bit'? What's being clarified?

That people are looking for “8-bit.” For instance, someone might google “8 bit editor.”

You can adjust the canvas size. There's a place where you can enter the voxel x voxel dimensions you want to work in.
Edit: in a recent update it added support for 1024 x 1024 scenes.

#10I highly recommend people check this out if you're interested in voxel graphics, or a simple way to make 3D graphics if you're artistically challenged like me. We used it to make a whole game and it was great: https://www.larvalabs.com/project/roadtrip
