What makes no sense at all is people suggesting that the dishonesty is some-how "right" (because other people do it?). This position is unquestionably irrational. Where did these people go to school?
I'm not in any way saying it's right, I'm saying it's business and some people get too upset over fairly inconsequential things way too easily.
Do you want their ads to say "yeah, this bike is cheap and not made to the highest standards, but buy it anyway!" No, they're going to say "this bike is great, especially for the price, and we're selling it cheaper than we could be, so it's a great deal!" because that's how business works in a capitalist system.
And just for the record, I'm a lobbyist, so I'm not far off from what you said I should be doing to begin with
