Why have the marketing blurbs at all then? it's just throwing away tokens if most people don't read it.

SEO, basically. Same as before

$0.10 for a marketing blurb isn’t exactly throwing away tokens, and if it conforms to society’s expectations then probably worth the spend.

Because you need to show something that executives can parse and people that only want to eat slop writing to read. People literally took marketing material as gospel before. They still do now.
