I think that it is plausible, yeah. And if we’re honest, Bitcoiners tend to entertain conspiracy theories perhaps a little to enthusiastically.

Even if this wasn't intentional by Foundry, it wouldn't change the fact that they benefited from this and AntPool+ViaBTC lost their reward. (Accidental Selfish Mining) And this was only possible because they already control so much hash rate.
