Yes plagiarism is used at all levels and our Ph.D. students have to produce a turnitin report before submitting the thesis: sometimes ot is discovered only when publishers look at the manuscript before the production of a book and it comes out… But my bet was to reuse a software for other purposes it was build for, especially when you have it and pay for it anyway…

I always thought of it as an undergraduate phenomenon in particular.

You may want to talk to Ryan Cordell, who is doing a fascinating project with a computer scientist to identify and recognize reprinted texts in 19th-century newspapers.
