To me, the big question is, what about the rest of the (non VW) automakers?

We know that engine maps have been tuned for the EPA fuel efficiency test, everything from shifting parameters to cold start modes vs warm start modes. That is legal, if done within limits.

Is it possible that no other manufacturer has played with similar algorithms as VW has done? Certainly the large truck engine manufacturers did it, but what about the current fleet?
