"Something here doesn't add up. Tastes like bullshit to me."

Perhaps so, but it's easily confirmed by another owner of said device going through the same or similar procedure.

If there's any truth to this then everyone should know about it. (Frankly, from what I've seen lately I'd not be a bit surprised that manufacturers would stoop so low).

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that every part of this story is fake. Just that as told, the details don't seem to hang together. Something feels embellished or exaggerated or missing.
Noted. As yet no one has posted a confirmation of the story so your initial conclusion may be correct.

That said, given the comparatively small number of readers here on HN the chances of another experiencing the same issue would be small. As the story will have alerted everyone the truth will eventually out itself.
