the qualifications for the Messiah are articulated in the OT,

the word used there is "son of an 3alma (young woman)" but this was
transalted as "virgin" in the LXX.
By default all guys are sons of a woman, and usually the woman is young,
and at that time people didn't live to old age so often, so what would
be the point in mentioning that the Messiah would be the son of a young
woman?

I think it would make a lot of sense to say he was a son of a woman
as distinct from, say, a god sent from heaven, or a spirit who took
a human form, or many other possibilities not involving a normal
biological human birth.

That is quite correct, but in that case they should have said the Messiah was to be the son of a 'woman', not a 'young woman'. Maybe we should send them an e-mail.
