And people are trusting them as "Mehadrin" for restaurants... (and by extension trusting other Hechsherim that will accept their products as "Mehadrin").

IDK. Maybe @Dan did research and knows.

Interesting that it doesn't specify Petach Tikva/Bnei Brak

אף על פי כן אסור לומר לעובד כוכבים בשל לי ירקות בקדרתך וכן לא יאמר לו עשה לי מרקחת שכל האומר בשל לי הרי הוא כאלו בישל בידיו
Reminds me of the not too well know issue of ordering a decaf coffee in a Starbucks. Even though סתם כלים allows a coffee that’s already been made, many times Starbucks won’t maintain a pot of decaf and will brew it upon your order. If there is a חשש that at one point the כלי was washed in a problematic way you’ll have an issue which סתם כלים won’t help you for.
