> why don't we see other companies speak this way

They do. Every company who promised us that their shitty cell phone app or website was going to change the world and revolutionize and disrupt industry/society was guilty of the same thing. They just usually focused their ridiculous levels of hype on the positives. The goal was the same. "Our technology is going to change the world so investors had better give us cash or else they will be left behind" is still the message.

I think this is just an advancement of what we saw with self-driving cars and how companies were pushing narratives around how every trucker will be out of work (this still hasn't happened) or how no individuals would own a car again while deflecting from things like how badly their cars performed in snow/rain or in anything other than very carefully controlled and mapped out conditions.

There's no past tense "saw", self-driving cars are still a thing! Waymo announced that they're expanding to Portland yesterday (https://waymo.com/blog/shorts/waymo-in-portland/), and the announcement does not include anything but sunshine and roses. Even within the AI space, I really don't see anyone other than frontier AI labs talking about their product this way.
