It's a clever marketing ploy. you are supposed to think that VM are better than everyone because they say that the others are crap and don't give you what they promise.

VM are crap and don't give you what they promise either, but the smoke screen they generate with these marketing ploys cover up that fact.

It's like having Arthur Daley paying some little kids to wave a few signs up saying that Bob sells you lemons. the required effect is that people will buy Arthurs lemons instead.
