This article on Shohei Ohtani‘s last four starts goes out of its way to find something extreme about the streak:

Ohtani has not allowed an earned run over his last 28 2/3 innings pitched, the third longest streak by an Angels starter within a season in the last 50 years. It was his fourth straight start without allowing an earned run and his third with at least 10 strikeouts and 0 earned runs; he’s the sixth pitcher to accomplish that feat since earned runs became official and the first since Jacob deGrom in 2018-19.

I am guilty of this as well, although I do try to avoid it. Ohtani contributed to the unearned run by allowing a double and a sacrifice fly after the one-base error. As far as I know, few people make a big deal about unearned run streaks. The stat really jumps the shark when you add in three 10-K games into the mix.

The four-game stretch is impressive without comparisons. Ohtani allowed 12 hits in 26 2/3 innings, along with seven walks. He struck out 40. He received the winning decision in all four games. On top of that, posted a .258/.377/.532 slash line during that period with sixteen hits and five home runs in eighteen games. Sometimes you just need to let the enormity of the numbers speak for themselves.
