Yea, LinkedIn ignores description since 2020 as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/61856180/1015648

If you want the title and description to be displayed, the shared page must have OG meta tags as mentioned here https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a521928/making-your-website-shareable-on-linkedin?lang=en
