You're bang on the money.

If even half of what this article is suggesting were true, why wouldn't Temu use their 1337 hacker skills to steal money outright rather than disguising it as a shopping app?

I don't believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?

Why steal their money when they can both get them to give their money as well data to also sell?
