But... how was it shown that the gun didn't go off while in the holster? The P320 going off without the trigger being pulled was an actual issue which Sig even had to correct. I wonder how they proved that that didn't happen.

wasn't that from being dropped ?
and for the holster part .,. he didn't have a video of it going off in the holster for #1 to get shot in the leg with out his finger on the bang switch...
like below .. he switched holsters and had a i just shot myself moment ..
That was an issue with being dropped from a sufficient hight and landing at a certain angle that allowed the trigger to continue moving rearward under its own inertia after the rest of the pistol came to a stop upon striking the ground. SIG initially lightend the trigger component to reduce its inertia to a level insufficient to fire tge pistol, a bandaid fix IMO. Subsequently SIG made further modifications to the FCG components, specifically its geometry to further reduce the above risks. Personally I think they should have also added a trigger dongus as well.
The issue in this case, I belive, had the holster and/or operator error as the causative factor.
There have been similar suits of this nature including one particular case involving a LEO in which it was proven that the individual caused the ND via the infamous holstering while finger on the trigger scenario.

Yes. From being dropped. I remember. There were tons of videos at the time showing it could happen. Also tons of videos showing the fixes. Just curious to know how they proved he didn't set it off by putting it down/dropping it while in the holster.
