None of them actually collaborated with each other.

Exactly the point. The software did that for them. On purpose. And then they used it because they knew it would do that work for them. It might be a different kind of collusion but I’m not convinced that matters much, unless like you said, we can make new legislation to state more explicitly that this exact behavior is illegal collusion.
