I share your view - how does this article imply US companies and/or government involvement? If there were such involvement what aspect of BGP gives the US entities more ability to carry this out vs other nefarious actors? I ask this sincerely knowing almost nothing about BGP and wanting to learn...
You may have missed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46504963 a few days ago where this same anomaly was discussed and American government involvement was directly implied by the article.
The top comment of that thread points out exactly the same thing this Cloudflare article does; that there doesn't really seem to be be any indication this was anything nefarious.
