You're right there is some tilt but it is mainly coma as it radiates away from the centre in all 4 corners with the bottom left being the worst where there is also tilt.

If you stop down and use 2x2 binning you may be surprised.

I doubt these things are made to the same standards as astronomical telescopes. They are mass produced in a factory.
