This is intentional.
The craftman speaks directly: "I need 8 valves to make a V8". But "leaders" (i.e. management), to not be confused for craftmen will speak in riddles and say "We'll probably need more than 2 valves to make the V8 product, am I right quadcore?". It also shows they have emotional intelligence and communication skills.
Since management generally take decisions, homepages will start by describing the product in riddles, like management does.
