Maybe I should start my own news company. You just string some words together about something and it doesn't really have to make any sense or communicate any information. You say this happened, but at the same time maybe it didn't happen, mention some people feel one way and other people feel a different way, throw in some meaningless speculation, someone else who is jumping to conclusions, maybe throw a pun in there somewhere, at least one person is skeptical about the thing, someone is concerned about how things will be different, and start selling space for advertisements.
I don't think your criticism here is fair. I see what the article is conveying in this sentence: this is a decision that makes no sense (it probably costs more to artificially limit speeds in this way) but it is also not unexpected that Apple would make this kind of decision. I think it's a well written turn of phrase.
Yeah I don't get it, that's not an uncommon phrase. I use variations of it all the time.
