It's all just an assumption. They say it because it's true, and because there's an audience for it. I personally doubt that audience is Tony khan, because he's the biggest mark in the industry. It's not necessary to gain favor through these type of comments because they already do it by simply existing.
Also, here's the whole quote, rather than a shitty one sentence summary.
Quote:

“They (AEW) don’t treat their fans stupid, in terms of not knowing what this is and we’re going to beat you over the head to make sure you understand it.I understand the reasoning of why they do that obviously, but I think with smart fans, and the way that people have access to looking into information that they might not know and being able to connect the dots themselves, I think that there’s something really cool about that that people like to have that sense of discovery, rather than being talked to like they don’t understand.”

That's something we as fans have harped on wwe about, but I can't recall an actual talent talking about that specific issue. Considering that her job as an interviewer and analyst is directly tied to the presentation of the product, it's not surprising she'd speak out about the difference in how both companies handle this sort of thing.
