This seems entirely ideologically motivated to me.

with a dash of business motivation.

Replacing government run and funded cyber security and threat assessment roles with privately owned contracters will be quite profitable for a few of the Brolliegarks.

No. The cost of running these is so small as not to be worth top officials' time in worrying about them. If they are looking to save lots of money, there are far more efficient ways to do that. This is just clearing house, establishing a tone, and making it clear that expert opinion is not valued.

It seems that the Salt Typhoon investigation would be better handled by the NSA anyways..

Yeah those guys are so good at security. You can tell because the tools and plans of theirs that keep leaking sound great!
