 Swatch owns this as well !?! Does that compromise the integrity of a brand like Blancpain when a mega-corp like Swatch buys you up ... or does Swatch let alone what works and works well ???

Yes...but, Blancpain does not, as a SWATCH owned company, use a proprietary movement as do the others mentioned...although one could argue that since SWATCH also owns ETA, the movements are proprietary!!!
