I don't know for sure, but we've seen so many WWE guys (current and former) who have the cognitive dissonance to go around saying stuff like "well Vince never SA'd anyone in front of me so I personally have no problems with the guy" that seeing someone not have that stance seems surprising.
Also from what I've gathered EY seems to be a guy who stands on principle so I wouldn't think he's the type to virtue signal. He's been in the business long enough to know its not run by the angels, if anything he probably thought all the Vince stories were exaggerations until he saw it for himself firsthand.
