New build Roof ridge vents

We are currently in the process of purchasing a new build and overall our inspection passed with flying colors. The one major item that came up is the inspector thinks the roofs ventilation isn’t adequate for the size of the roof.

We are waiting to hear back from the builders but I expect a “it’s not a big deal “ from them. Is this something we should be worried about and put our foot down about or is it something that would be fine?

Edit: forgot to attach the attic section but will add the text here.

Attic
All Attic •
Method of Inspection: From the hatch
Access: In the bedroom closet
Moisture Penetration: No
Roof Framing: Truss
Sheathing: OSB
Ventilation: Ridge and soffit vents - The attic ventilation appears marginal based on observed ridge size. This ridge vent should extend to with in 18" of the edge of the roof.
Baffles are missing at the soffits which can allow the soffit vents to get blocked with insulation.
Recommend the attic ventilation be evaluated and corrected by a qualified contractor.
Current recommended practices suggest providing approximately 1 square foot of net free vent area for every 150 square feet of attic floor/ceiling area (with balanced intake at the eaves/soffits and exhaust at the ridge or upper vents) to promote effective airflow. Proper ventilation helps reduce heat buildup in summer (keeping the house cooler and lowering cooling costs), extends the lifespan of roofing materials by minimizing heat-related wear, and in winter reduces the risk of ice dams (common in Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles) and attic condensation that can lead to mold, rot, or insulation damage. No active moisture issues, ice dam evidence, or excessive heat/moisture buildup were noted at this time, but marginal ventilation can contribute to gradual problems over time.
