I would say that marketing people have a motivation to make exaggerated claims, while the rest of us are trying to just come up with a definition that makes sense and helps us understand the world.

I'll give you some examples. "Unlimited" now has limits on it. "Lifetime" means only for so many years. "Fully autonomous" now means with the help of humans on occasion. These are all definitions that have been distorted by marketers, which IMO is deceptive and immoral.
