What’s even the story here? QA Engineers Perform Job?

On products from their competitors?

well it seems advantageous to be able to say "your honour, we're being unfairly singled out here; at the time of the incident this lawsuit concerns, none of our competitors had resolved this problem either" and have receipts.

(and also know whether the safeguards they're trying to implement/improve towards have been achieved or are theoretical)

Yes, you’re right. I was just quickly lumping any contractor whose job is to run tests from a test case sheet under the QA umbrella. I guess a more likely title is Product Market Analyst, or something like that. But I was mostly stating that I don’t find this weird at all. I definitely have looked at competitor’s API’s, for example, when designing my own. I would find it weird not to.
