Assange, Musk & Farrakhan are on "our team".
The writer places the period outside of the quotation marks.
The entity known as “Sundance” also places the period outside of quotation marks. → Operation Condor
Grammar Girl says that in America we place the period inside the quotation marks.

It seems just a bit curious to me that both of these omniscient explainers would have the same little writing quirk.

Nah, that writing “quirk” goes with any independent rational thinkers. Those with algebraic minds find the period after the close-quote to be annoying.

In Post31 of this thread I provide a link to Q's posts.

Some devices will put another period after the quotation marks, so I just drop the internal one.

“The writer places the period outside of the quotation marks.”
Does Sundance do this all the time, or just when it’s correct? In this case, it is correct, and not a quirk. The period ends the sentence; an end quotation mark doesn’t end the sentence.

In and of itself that isnt very significant and is becoming more common because "the right way" is wrong. If you go back through all of my posts for example you would see that I tend to do that but it isnt because Im Qanon and have a weird quirk. Its because when Im relaying information and the sentence ends in someone elses thought, a quote, and it is also the end of my thought then the end of the quoted thought puts the period inside of the quotes. If the quotes are there to set aside a term or acronym that doesnt have a period as part of it, even when the quoted term is at the end of a sentence, then my thought ends after the term and the period goes after the quotation mark. One way relays that there are other sources for the thought, a quote of some type, a reference to someone elses thought that you could reference, the other way tells you that I or the assumed we are the only source needed to be referenced.
Again, its not because of a quirk or poor education. Its because many have begun to recognize that the "correct" way is wrong and we no longer care what some twit at Harvard or elsewhere thinks.

additional thought...
Think of it as internet body language, a communication on a different level for a different purpose than the obvious information relayed.
That kind of suggests to me that the person doing the primary communication as Qanon is someone who spends an unusual amount of time on the internet as opposed to doing other tasks.
