The author detected an "anomaly" (see proof below) and pointed it out. I think it's pretty hostile to call such comments as bizarre, or question the author's intentions.
It seems that around 90% of developers are men[1]. Therefore, using a binomial distribution, if 6 developers were picked at random, the chance that all of them would be women (or other non men gender) is 0.0001%. (Interestingly, there is a 53% chance that all 6 of would be men).
The reason for such unlikely occurrence is that most likely, as the parent mentioned, Apple wanted to feature women developers for International Women's Day.
