I don't see it as humblebragging (any of us could create a Cook contact / ReCode readers likely know Walt Mossberg's relationship to Apple) but, worse, a faulty premise.

Odds are, if you have them in your contact database, you already know them; you're not going to want Siri to give you their Wikipedia bio.

Siri has myriad faults, and thankfully someone of Mossberg's stature might push Apple to address them, but this is not one of them.

If you are asking specifically for _who_ somebody is, it should tell you who that person is - not give the contact card, because that card does not tell you who somebody is. At least, that's what I would expect if I asked who somebody is.

I'm presupposing the contact card has their job position/title, and therefore still answers the question – also presupposing the original (odd) premise of wondering who someone already saved in your phone is.

The Venn overlap between the set of "contacts in your phone" and "people with Wikipedia bios" is likely rather small. Hence why I think it's a faulty premise to complain about Siri defaulting to contact card when these two sets do intersect.

So, here we are arguing over what that utterance means, but we're blaming Siri for not doing the right thing...

Except the contact card has meta-information like: company they work at, where they're located, etc. (including custom fields you can create).

A contact card could definitely be used for that. If one exists, Siri should give the info from it and then wait to see if the user also wants external information (from Wikipedia or elsewhere).
