ETA everywhere?

Hello you all,
Is it true that almost all mid-prized sportwatches, which are certified as chronometers are based on the same ETA movement (for example ETA 2892-A2). When I talk about sportwatches, I mean for example Omega Seamaster, Tag Heuer Kirium or Breitling Superocean and the other models
of those manufacturers, except chronograph models. Can it be that brands like Omega just order the movements from ETA and just install the
movement in clock shells?

Is ETA 2892-A2 movement respected among horology interests and is high quality? How much modifications do watchmaker do in this ETA-machine before they are installed inside the shell. Do they just paint the manufacturers name in the rotor or do they do something else too?

Does Rolex also use that ETA movement in their cheapest models, like Air King or JustDate, or is even the cheapest Rolex movement more respected
and better than ETA movement?
