"Funko did not request a takedown of the @itchio platform."
Man, I fucking hate corpo-speak like this.
Yes, you didn't personally make the request against itchio.... But you hired this company to enforce "brand protection" and that's what they did. So you did actually request the takedown, but you just did so by authorizing another party to make such requests on your behalf.
This is like a military General saying "hey I didn't commit any warcrimes, I just gave the orders to my men to commit warcrimes!"
Translation: "we didn't think this predatory behavior would affect our bottom line, and we deeply regret that it has."
