Not that I suspect that chessbase is going to cheat for commercial reasons but for commercial reasons I see no reason to do a draw. If chessbase want to sell Fritz and agree to cheat for that purpose then a win for Fritz is better than a draw. If selling Brutus is more important for them then a win for brutus is better for them.
