I wouldn't take this seriously.
It sounds like they were just internal rumors that spread around and then eventually got to a journalist.
Unless the internal sources directly and verifiably worked on drafting the proposal or discussing the concrete deal being purported - it's most likely inaccurate, overly optimistic hearsay.
Let's use our best judgement here and not humor the journalist for clicks and outrage.

(There was a leak of one such list from Amazon or Microsoft, I believe.) "Interest" and "intention" are two separate things, and the latter counts for a lot more.
