The problems raised by F1's surprise fastest lap controversy

Was F1’s surprising late Singapore Grand Prix controversy just a token farewell gesture OR an act of intentional manipulation by one team to help its master?
When Daniel Ricciardo made a late third pitstop in what may turn out to be his final race in F1, which was already a lost cause, it was widely interpreted as being done to try to aid Max Verstappen’s title defence.
But Ricciardo is NOT Verstappen’s direct team-mate - so if this was the RB team giving an assist to Red Bull Racing by denying McLaren’s Lando Norris the fastest bonus point, is that fair?
