In some cases students have fought such accusations by showing their professor the tool flags the professor's work.

Don't know why these companies are spending so much developing this technology, when their customers clearly aren't checking how well it works.

The companies selling these aren’t “spending so much developing the technology”. They’re following the same playbook as snake oil salesmen and people huckstering supplements online do: minimum effort into the product, maximum effort into marketing it.
