I just realized that Rogue Amoeba isn't just a random company making iOS and Mac apps. They aren't even just a random company that Gruber likes. Rogue Amoeba is a past sponsor of Daring Fireball, including being the debut sponsor of the Daring Fireball RSS feed [1].
Given that, I'd be surprised if he'd said anything else. That doesn't mean what Gruber said here is wrong (I don't think it is), but that is important context nevertheless.
