Like gladiators and their lions in ancient Rome it draws in the crowds. No doubt, most, maybe even all, of what you say is true. The main point, and you touched on it, there is too much choice - why do I need to navigate 25 different makes when I only want one good quality product? Who does have the time, or the inclination, to compare one with the other? We are being bombarded (electronically, visually, audibly, sometimes even physically) with info all day long - who can take it all in? And why would one want to? So yes, PR companies do have their work cut out to compete for the consumer's attention. No wonder there are so many a la "Absolutely Fabulous" Joanna Lumleys in the industry hanging onto their bottle as best they can. U AJ, nothing as entertaining as a flame war.
