It's not the historical Western Electric. Like many other well-known
brand names, the name and logo were sold.
Wikipedia says "As of 2013, the stylized Western Electric brand name
survives as the trademark of the Western Electric Export Corporation, a
privately owned high-end audio company in Rossville, Georgia."

Summed it up beautifully there Leigh.
I clicked the link and my heart sank in the same way.
The reason, of course, is that the audio people seem to love the idea of
paying premium prices, whereas we hams have a different mindset.

Unfortunately this explorative initiative here is skewed entirely
towards the mainstream audiophile tube market…sadly not the ham radio
transmitting tube market for 3-500Z, 572B, 811A, 3CX800A7, 3CX1500A7/
8877, 4CX1000A, 4CX1500B, etc ☹
Reconstituting the tooling, materials, and knowhow to produce these Tx
tubes to the former Eimac quality standard would be an overreaching
bridge too far….

In case someone hasn't seen this. Western Electric is looking to get
back into the domestic tube market, and they are looking into what
tubes to produce. You can see more and make suggestions here:
