The story was given legs because Bloomberg has generally been a credible organization. They are tainted if they don't firmly explain their side, and forever anything they report will be coupled with "they were the ones behind that debunked SuperMicro thing".
Clickbait and manufactured stories is a dead end tactic, so they certainly do care, and they certainly have some reasoning. Perhaps they were intentionally mislead.

On top of that, the story itself has a number of technical implausibilities that render it difficult to believe.[2] [1]: https://twitter.com/RobertMLee/status/1049617855396933632 https://twitter.com/RobertMLee/status/1049617855396933632 [2]: https://www.servethehome.com/investigating-implausible-bloomberg-supermicro-stories https://www.servethehome.com/investigating-implausible-bloom...
