In the same vein as Adobe sues me for photoshopping a picture or Alphabet sues me for googling my exgirlfriends' names?

No, but you don’t wanna get sued for libel and slander. If VW can realistically show that it is industry-standard behaviour (which is pretty obvious), then they might even have a chance to win.

Either way, it’d be expensive for you.

I'll call you when they sue.

It's been said, "Truth is the best defense for libel". Reasonably held opinion would then be the second.

Realistically, not mentioning anyone or anything is the only complete defense. The truth still comes close.
