At the end of the article, before the comments, there are two emails. One from Apple to Khalid, and the other from Khalid's company to anyone who applies to be a developer there. I'm assuming that TC is in contact with Khalid, since they have a quote from a phone conversation with him. So him forwarding the email to them isn't surprising.
The article explains that the response is an automatic reply for any mail sent to the e-mail address that the authors found for Khalid's company. The response was not necessarily sent to Apple; presumably Khalid uses a different contact address for his App Store work.

Where does that quote come from? Did Khalid post them?

Doesn't explain how they obtained the puzzling mail that was sent in response to Apple, though.
