Wasn't there recently a whole huge story about how it turned out to be his girlfriend's brother?

I'd like a link if so, I have been interested in why that story isn't more important, given the attention other state-sponsored hacks have received...

It's not a contradiction. Whoever would have ordered NSO or similar actor to hack Bezos' phone is probably after more juicy info than a dick pic or at least wouldn't leak it for 'lulz' and thereby revealing that the phone is compromised somehow.

I don't know if it's a contradiction, but my understanding is that the stuff that actually leaked, we have a good handle on where it came from.
