Whether one calls it corruption or unfair influence, as I explained in another reply, it is highly unlikely to pick all 4 from CB, hence some behind the scenes mechanism CB -> SSDF influencing the SSDF picks is likely to exist. This is especially so in conjuction with earlier controversies including the same accusation of CB's unfair influence on SSDF. In that earlier case, an independent evaluation organization would have not bent to the CB and used their propretary autoplayer despite suspicious score patterns and protests by other chess program companies and authors. If CB doesn't want to compete with other programs on equal footing, they should have been told, "sorry, we can't test your programs then, you're welcome back on the list when you have a testable program." CB would have been compelled to come around and provide the public autoplayer capability since it could have only lost by being dropped from the SSDF list.
