How is it not? There is definitely an implication...they even discuss the legality of it. Amazon employees have purchased hundreds of thousands of pieces of real estate over the years, how many articles were published discussing individual transactions?

"Apple Employees buy a home in SJC before iPhone launch" "Goldman Sachs Employee buys home in TriBeCa during bonus season" is not something you read regularly.

I think "Line at the Ferrari dealer" is pure clickbait.

Additionally, this is talking about a macro trend across an industry, while the current article is talking about 2 employees out of hundreds of thousands.

The article from 15 years ago is also not discussing the legality.
