I think you're being far, far too critical. It's a "short form" article, "4 min read" which really means under 1 minute.

The headline is "rattles global chip sector" and they very quickly get to "8.6% drop" in share price.

It's quite clear, without knowing total revenue, that the $2B means quite a lot to Broadcom.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually had the total revenue number in there and it got cut in editing. This isn't the economist, it's reuters.
