I believe they, and pretty much everyone else here, thought you were talking about the mechanical shutter that you have to manually slide over the lens.
That's not what mechanical means, but I can understand the confusion.
Those are manual shutters. If it's mechanical, unless you are using a very archaic definition or speaking in a different context it is capable of self movement in some form.
Not that I'd be particularly surprised to find out product marketing on the question is all over the place.
Mechanical means relating to Japanese mechas
You used to be able to get a mecha for a five cents. Gimme a mecha for a nickel, we'd say. We didn't have actual mecha (because of the war) so we used jam jar lids instead. Now one time Puddinhead, his name was Gerald Brown but everyone called him puddinhead because he had this hat that looked like a pudding cup. I don't know where he found it. Maybe he made it, which, in retrospect, was really neat. We were a little too hard on old Puddinhead. Anyway...
