Oh, "jackpot" was just a figure of speech, I didn't intend to imply any particular probability. Not sure what the chance of finding sensitive information in the private files of an engineer is, but I would guess a lot better than one in a million. One in a hundred, maybe? One in ten?
I think the most likely explanation is that this actor routinely attempts to compromise big-tech engineers using low-sophistication means, then grabs whatever they can get. Keep doing that often enough, for long enough, and you get something valuable -- that's the "persistent" in APT.
