No lubrication as far as I know. Could also be the wiper switch. Best to check with ForScan for any codes to better diagnose the issue.

Yes. It is not available on the Play store, however, they do now offer an independent version that can be side loaded and license purchased. I originally had the the Play store version and when it stopped working ForScan gave me a license for the independent version and it works.

You can get it directly from ForScan's site. The "Independent edition".

For me I would recommend ForScan lite with the OBDLink MX+ adapter. The OBDLink MX+ also comes with an included app that can also read enhanced diagnostic codes, not just the check engine light, and for most vehicles. The license included with the OBDlink MX+ allows to read enhanced codes for most 1996+ vehicles.

As @Wubster100 stated above, sometimes different letters indicate different features or specs, also like different spring or shock rates. However, for the part numbers you listed, the are superceding numbers with the K version being the latest. See this listing where it is clearly stating that the K version replaces the older ones. If you enter any of the older numbers it will automatically take offer you the K version. So all will work, what changed between versions will probably remain a mystery to customers. Generally the latest is the best.

2016 Edge in the US had Sync 3.

Yep. This fix is as per TSB 24-2345. You can read the details in this post.

Not through the vehicle. But can be disabled using an app called ForScan.

I have recently tried some D3S LED replacements from AliExpress on my Edge. They are cheap at about $35 for the pair and hence they last about 1 year only. But they are considerably brighter than HID. Removing the old bulbs and installing the new one can be done without removing the headlights. I have done it several times now.

ForScan can flash the PCM firmware. But you will need a paid license, a very good wired adapter, and to know which Firmware versions are required.

You could look into using ForScan to update the PCM software. It can do it.

Use ForScan with a good adapter. It will read all the modules in the vehicles, including the seat related modules. Not just the generic OBD codes and will greatly help you in the diagnosis. Also, there was a TSB for Also, if the issue is similar, reading this other thread here on the issue and/or this post on the F150 might help.

How come the Edge's labor time is significantly less than other models? Typo?

It should have it as it was standard on the 2016-2018 Sports. This post shows the difference between steering wheels, with and without.

I don't remember it being announced, but they just cancelled it quietly. I think it is probably for cost reduction especially since there were issues and a recall or a customer satisfaction recall for it. Also, probably because the feature didn't seem to get enough credit from reviews or owners to make it feasible. Although I personally like the feature and find it useful.
