Huh. I haven’t seen that factoid before.

It distances the motive from personal vendetta. It provides support to the narrative that he did this for principles, and not revenge.

Looked it up to double check, as it's what I remembered reading.

The New York Police Department told CBS News that there are no indications that Mangione was a UnitedHealthcare customer.

Officials believe Mangione may have targeted the company because of its status as the largest health insurer in the United States.

I would imagine it might be because United denies claims more than most (all?) other major insurance providers. I mean, it could be because of that, if Luigi did it, but he's innocent so this is purely hypothetical.

They were absolutely the best choice to target, the worst of the worst.
