Clearing brush is a huge issue in California. The utilities want to do it to reduce wildfire risk (and charge customers) but the public utilities commission wants to keep rates low and often won't allow them to. I think politics/nimbyism affecting brush clearing is a way more likely contributing factor than arson.
Obviously not at the Biden level, more at the local commissioner level.
That's one of the reasons misinformation becomes successful - it tends to have a grain of truth buried deep in the BS that makes it seem more plausible.
