I was in a QA role on MacOS in 2010-2013. There isn’t a QA team, rather each group of developers and EM had a QA embedded with them.

I think they mean, having a whole bunch of people doing end-to-end user-scenario tests all-day - like videogame playtesters - whereas what you’re describing sounds more like SDET work.

You're correct ... but then various teams took various measures to try to get rid of QA. So it's spotty.
