    They have a product to sell, that’s why they’re saying it.

    It's so obvious that it's cringe. They have a product to sell so these kind of things are all part of a larger marketing campaign in preparation for their IPO.

    This was not written by a software engineer.

    They need press releases to hype up their IPO.
