I wouldn’t call it collusion but, of course, they’re aggregating what leading companies find to be best practices—although they presumably don’t share individual company IP. Not much different really from when tech folks go to conferences. Companies benchmark and consider industry best practices all the time. If they don’t they’re idiots.
