The last two I bought came with non-latching links.
Several before that came with latching links.

Yes, but many people, myself included, often find the type 1 links difficult to remove and prefer to use the Park tool to quickly and easily open them.

I have 4 bikes, and at any point in time, I don't know which ones have which type of link.
So I just use the tool on all of them, since even the non-latching type comes off easier.

KMC makes all of Shimano's chain. I believe that Wippermann makes Campagnolo chain. Don't know about SRAM.

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter
Last I heard directly, KMC made some (most?) of Shimano's chains, but not all. And Campagnolo has been making their own chains in house since at least Y2K. (this is 1st hand based on watching them being made during a factory tour).

(No experience with SRAM chains, so cannot comment on those.)

fwiw-I just replaced the chain on my Cervelo with the SRAM Red 10 sp components. The chain that was on there was a PC 1091 which is the Hollow Pin chain. I had 5000+ miles on it. It still measured to be pretty good but I just decided that was enough miles on that chain....I opted to use the SRAM connector link. I've used others without an issue but my LBS fella indicated that he had never seen a SRAM power link fail but experienced issues (while isolated) with others.

Good to know Campagnolo make their chains in house . I have Chorus 10 speed on one bike and 11 speed on another bike . I really like Campagnolo stuffs , group set , wheels , chains , because it produced everything in house .
