With the difference that by the admission of the "CEO of advertising company" we now know that the company has enabled foreign actors to manipulate the opinion in favor of "winner".
That makes an important distinction compared to "all major US candidates".
So you see, when the boss of "Advertising 'R Us" calls me to congratulate me on my promotion it is not newsworthy.
It is when the POTUS is congratulated by the very same person who later admits his company allowed foreign powers to influence the election of said POTUS, and for the same type of actions that were later attributed to those foreign powers.
It's also important to remember we have the benefit of hindsight and the information that has come out since then. Which said CEO didn't have at there time of that call.
