Ok, so you're mixing in your old confusion about supernovas and project it to their words. I don't think their words had that implication at all.
Regarding "why brother", already told you: they are born very similarly. What makes someone your brother? Common parent. Here too, black holes and neutron stars have a common parent, a big collapsing star.
