There was also the cringey "niiice!", "sweeeet!", "that's greaatt", "that's actually pretty good" responses from the narrator in a few of the demo videos that gave them the feel of a cheap 1980's TV ad.

It really reminds me of the Black Mirror episode Smithereens with the tech CEO talking with the shooter. Tech people really struggle with empathy, not just 1 on 1 but with the rest of the outside world which is predominantly low income relatively, with no college education. Paraphrased, Black Mirror ep was like:
[Tech CEO read instructions to "show empathy" from his assistant via Slack]
CEO: I hear you. It must be very hard for you.
Shooter: Of course you fucking hear me, we're on the phone! Talk like a normal person!
I remember that conversation! Man, that was a great episode.
