Please reread the link you posted: "Which Files Must Contain An ASF License Text?¶
Every source file must contain the appropriate ASF License text or boilerplate notice." You don't verify the source of a binary because it's not a source. This is the same as not being able to verify the license of a png or jpeg via a license header - because those binary formats don't have any. But we can verify the license of the file. Romain wrote those files and there is a proper NOTICE and LICENSE file in the jars. It's not perfect that we have those files in the source zip, but it is legally perfectly fine.
