It was my understanding that movie film and its processing are very similar to
CN film processed in C-41. My point then
is that factories making thousands of miles of movie stock a month could easily
make runs of still film - probably do.
The developing chemistry is no mystery, and made by several companies.

I don't know to whom you are talking here. I have no interest whatsoever in
processing color film. I made a couple of R
prints from slides in little plastic tube over 40 years ago. That was more than
enough.
