What has happened in the past few years is every wannabe sausage
maker has been told by their marketeers to start making chorizo,
whether they know what it's supposed to be like or not.

It looks to me like an emulsified sausage with a few larger
fat chunks thrown in. Perhaps it has chorizo seasonings.
Niman Ranch has a "Chorizo" that looks a lot like this one does.
