It really just boils down to what sort of sponsorship money can be make from doing it vs costs incurred.

If it brings in the money then it brings in the money.

My impression is that for test equipment you are biased, either conscious or unconscious. That is the reason why i would not pay for it. For example looking how your opinion about Tektronix changed over the years. For a long time there were almost no positive comments about Tek and since they sent you a series 2 test device it seems to have changed a bit.

Err, nope. They sent me a 3000 series that is worth a lot more than the 2 series, and I absolutely hammered that product. So much so that they didn't talk to me for like 5 years or something.

I watch his videos because he does everything except test multimeters to see if they're bang on accurate. He rubs them with gasoline, zaps them with grill starters, twists the knob until it breaks, etc. It's fun to watch fancy $700 meters fail miserably where $50 meters survive.

My plan for a long time has been to have such testing facilities. Thermal/humidiuty test chambers, vibration tables, automated knob turners, ESD, mains brownout and spike testing etc.

EEVlab could be a torture test lab only perhaps?

Multimeters might be a particularly difficult case.

Not only do you have the normal destructive testing and CAT ratings (which means you can expect to not just test one meter, but destroy a series of them), but there's another issue: confidence in the result.

Will a multimeter give repeatable and correct results? And will it still do so after ten years? Yes, if you're a company that relies on accurate measurements, those meters will be sent to calibration labs at manufacturer-specified intervals, so in theory that shouldn't matter. In practice, a meter that stays within specifications after a decade by design, where the calibration consists of nothing more than a simple check to confirm it's still okay, is much nicer to deal with than one that drifts to the maximum allowed limits during each calibration interval. That's not something easily tested, that's confidence building up after many years.

This proposed name creates a confusion with existing EEVBlab.
