It would support two things that are currently in doubt (1) the idea that Bloomberg ran the story with actual information from actual insiders at Apple/Amazon (I've seen upvoted comments in multiple HN threads suggesting fabrication and whether the journalists have a history of it) and (2) that Bloomberg did not confuse or extrapolate the claims in their story from much more minor security incidents, such as the one Apple had previously disclosed re:Supermicro (such confusion/extrapolation seems to be the most likely explanation for everything we've seen imho but many other outcomes wouldn't surprise me).
