It’s called Stripe Billing, not Stripe MDR. What a pointless exercise but I guess someone wi have some takeaways from this, not sure which one though.
what is MDR?

I work at an HR/Payroll company with a phenomenal app that we put our blood, sweat, and tears into every single day. And every single day I clock in with Oracle Time and Labor. There's a legal reason for this and we do it for compliance. I'm guessing Stripe is in the same boat with this product despite its flaws.
I've actually had an instance or two over my four years there where I discovered a bug in our PROD/App Store version myself; simply from using the software enough.
It's really unfortunate that this isn't the case for a lot of dev shops. Dogfooding is incredibly important to QA.

Twilio is the same. They use Zoom & Slack internally, not their own video and chat offerings. Dogfooding is a good thing. You’d be surprised how few companies actually do it (which is terribly shocking).
This sounds terrible, it shows a lack of confidence in your own product, imagine if Google internally would use Zoom... I can tell you that devs that use their own product deliver better quality.
Perhaps you also need to use the product that your competitors use to understand what you need to beat.

That gets repeated a lot but I have observed the opposite when you have a diversified company dogfooding an internal product that isn't strategic in their portfolio, or is targeted at a market segment that the company doesn't belong to. I have seen companies hamstring themselves by using a product that isn't the best offering for them or a poor technical fit, only because it is their own offering. Also, in the worst case, companies become develop tunnel vision in the market, because they don't regularly use the competition.
If you have a large, international software company targeting small to medium business customers in the US, dogfooding would be counterproductive. It would probably harm their strategic customer base by overcomplicating their product with features they don't need at the same time it slows the parent company down by using a product that's poor fit.

The sound quality and filtering on Zoom is noticeably better than on Meets. Perhaps you also need to use the product that your competitors use to understand what you need to beat.

Can I see the files of an example case where something like that happened?
If it happened then one would claim that they have a legal onus. Conflict of interest is speculative about an unforeseen future.
