Why would unit tests not be written by the same person? That doesn’t make a lot of sense…

They did say why they're doing it

Whenever possible have somebody else write the unit tests, so they don’t have the same assumptions and blind spots.

Did that not make sense to you?

I usually wouldn't do that, because it's a bigger investment. But it certainly makes logical sense to me and is something teams can weigh and decide on.
