So they paid developers 300 x 246 = about 73K just for developer recruitment for the study, which is not in any academic journal, or has no peer reviews? The underlying paper looks quite polished and not overtly AI generated so I don't want to say it entirely made up, but how were they even able to get funding for this?

Companies produce whitepapers all the time, right? They are typically some combination of technical report, policy suggestion, and advertisement for the organization.
