Seems to be a very bizarre way of developing this, but then the whole process has already shown that VM/Netgear know nothing about software development.

It's fairly standard. Whoever's got the contract to develop the software provides occasional 'code drops' for the customer to try out and report back on. Maybe this hasn't happened often enough in this case; but why should VM spend staff time on a process that they're paying someone else to provide.
