You're making it political, but it's just positioning. A PR firm pitched Wired this story as part of a campaign to remind everyone that SoundCloud once mattered¹ in preparation for their forthcoming fire sale.
¹ Probably not as much as this story suggests, though. Artists who started on SoundCloud weren't using it exclusively. For example, TikTok (not SoundCloud) broke "Old Town Road".
