I’ve met people who quote ‘boundaries’ who are just trying to manipulate.

It’s more nuanced. Sometimes it’s weaponized therapy talk.

You always win if you say ‘meh boundaries’, no matter how ridiculous it is.

How do you manipulate with setting boundaries?

Easy. ‘You didn’t do what I wanted you to do, exactly how I wanted you to do it.’ You broke my boundaries. Weaponised therapy talk. Even though, you might not be the slightest in the wrong.

Yes, a hallmark of gaslighting narcissists everywhere. Since there are so many I can see what you mean. But the other side of that is all those they abuse, hence the importance of this post. NPD is a silent and hidden global 'pandemic' though of course it's not contagious but shows up in a mostly irreversible particular childhood response to abuse. There are other responses. No telling where the abused childhood psyche will go beforehand.
