Maybe, but it would also be very easy to blame on misconfiguration / mistake. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the behavior itself isn’t purposeful, but ignoring / not fixing it is. I’ve definitely seen such behavior at other companies, where they drag their feet on fixing a bug that is bad for the user, but helping them.
Pretty sure that if it was purposeful, they’d get slapped with a massive fine sooner than later

I’m guessing the intentionality could be uncovered with a couple well crafted subpoenas.
But yeah, def can see what you’re describing happening
