That's very convenient! The problem is that they didn't enforce that policy before the laptop leaks either. Not in any significant way and no media outlet ever got their account banned for reporting on a hack before (or after).

The ~7000 QAnon accounts they banned don't fit your narrative I'm afraid.

There are now several intermediate steps they've added since then, like clear warnings [1]. This allows the account to stay active and still report on stolen data. Much better IMO, banning accounts is common practice, but too heavy-handed as to be the only tool Twitter has.
