As noted by the OP, this story is indeed completely off-topic, and has
nothing to do with OpenStreetMap. Apple's maps team is hiring new
staff. To pitch this as some kind of head-hunting attack on OSM
is...creative.

Why hire *away*?

CloudMade hired lots of OSM Ambassadors in the states. I'm not sure it
worked out well for them but some of them are now good OSM friends of mine
(and I'm not sure they were OSMers before, or at least not so involved).
