It's just the typical quality of journalism. You can spot the factual errors because you know better: most people can't.
They'll be parroting whatever marketing drivel the company's provided them.

The journalist just drops the 'confusing bit'.
Yeah I guess this has been a thing my whole life. I remember reading newspapers thinking every article I have background knowledge in is wrong in some way, so we really need to take articles about things we don't understand with a grain of salt as well.
More than with a grain of salt, assume that at least one assertion in the article is as inaccurate as this articles'.
