Well, Entirely possible, but not necessarily...
I know of many Industrial Designers & Architects who use very state-of-the-art
CAD/CAID software at work, but use very cheap & limited software at home for
their personal creativity... Why? Because some of the best CAD/CAID software
can run in the *hundreds of thousands of dollars* and the company may only have
a few seats. Also, you said that they are using Autodesk software... The part
libraries are probably proprietary, and it would be strongly frowned upon to
make a personal copy of them.
So it may well be that they find MLCAD & Ldraw to be better than what they use
(If they are using AutoCAD, I would agree heartily...) But it may also be that
the designer is just using what was convenient & accessible.
In either case... its nothing to get complacent about.
