I have reason to believe that Apple and Amazon (and intelligence agencies) silo some data internally on a need-to-know basis wherever possible. A leaker shouldn’t be capable of leaking everything.

Sure, but it wouldn't make sense to only relay the gag order to a subset of people who were aware of an incident - that would add risk and defeat the purpose of the risk-mitigating silos that you're suggesting.

So not one of the fifteen Bloomberg sources knew about any kind of gag order or reason for Apple/Amazon to deny these claims? Just saying that seems unlikely.
