Imagine the chaos if FIRST allowed any random person to walk in and give their suggestions while trying to diagnose the issue during Einstein. They'd be flooded with every person out there who has a theory (take a look at the
numerous Einstein threads filled with people bickering about what they think happened to get an idea of how many people that would be) to step in.
Also, the document indicates that this individual was observed doing this multiple times and continuing throughout the match. If they were just doing some unauthorized (and incredibly harmful) troubleshooting, why didn't they stop after forcing a robot to lose connection the first time? Why did they take their phone out after explicitly being told not to? Because of those facts, I think it's hard to say that the intent was not malicious.
My heart goes out to The Eh Team. Nobody doubts that they were an amazing alliance of 2 of the best teams (and one very promising up and comer). When people look back on Rebound Rumble, they will not only remember that 16, 25, and 180 won, but that 1114, 2056, 4334, 987, 233, 118, 548, 2194, and 207 were all outstanding teams whose robots excelled at the game.

In Jon Dudas' statement, he says:

The person who engaged in this interference was associated with an FRC team, but not with any team on the winning alliance.

Nothing about the other Einstein teams, though.
