Except that the new CEO has explicitly stated he and the board are very much still interested in commercialization. Plus, if the board had on this simple kind of disagreement, they had no reason to also accuse Sam of dishonesty and bring about this huge scandal.

Granted, it's also possible the reasons are as you state and they were simply that incompetent at managing PR.
