I figured it was PR for these companies, trying to show how advanced their tech is, because they have failed to meet their hype and investors are selling off their bonds at a loss.
It is definitely that, but it could also be what op is saying here. That’s the way these oligarchic deals work with government and big business.
I.e. The government wants to ID everyone on every account using the internet? They let tech get their grasping hands on that information as they collect it to use for business.

The term many are using for this media strategy is “critihype”: criticism which is secretly meant to hype products.
It’s basically a version of those click bait Internet ads that warn ‘Do not!! Play this free adult adventure fantasy RPG! This game is TOO SEXY! Highly addictive!’
