Yes, the guy could take credit for it, but at the same time he may have thought it would be more successful under Albinoni’s name? Besides, there’s also the “musicological hit” aspect of it: “I unearthed a piece by an old italian baroque master!”
True! It might have never taken off if it wasn't attached to Albinoni's name. So from that perspective he really did kill two birds with one stone.
