Haven't done any codebase spelunking, but their FAQ at the bottom of the page states it pretty clearly:

"Who provides the Brave Talk service? The Brave Talk service is provided in partnership with 8x8. And the service is built on the open-source Jitsi platform."

I am shocked "8x8 Meet" hasn't been sued by Google yet.

The only issued trademark is for "google meet". They have filed for 'meet' in 2021 but they cant retroactively enforce that against 8x8 who have been using it since mid 2020

OT: is there a shadow economy of squatting common words as trademarks, like with domain names? It's surprising and slightly terrifying this is even possible.

Nope, not possible. You cannot enforce a trademark without using it commercially.
