The only point of the headline is to get you to click. News organizations exist to sell ads. They can’t sell ads on an article you don’t click on. Every headline is literally clickbait if you want to be pedantic about it.
That said, THIS headline is not what anyone would typically call clickbait. It’s not asking a baiting question, burying a lede, or saying something that’s arguably untrue just to get you in to the article. “A person of particular interest to X industry says thing that he believes to be true about said industry.” The headline assumes you know a few things, sure. But it’s not a scholarly article, it’s allowed to assume you know things.
