I blame A/B testing actually. Too many folks run experiments without choosing which metric to optimize carefully. Here, marketers probably monitor click-through rates of their main homepage buttons. And unfortunately, if you change the landing page text from a few actually descriptive sentences to the BS described in this article, you probably end up with higher click through rates on your buttons.

Most of the B2B companies I've worked for don't have enough traffic to perform an A/B test in anything short of 6 months.

I run a/b tests and this is the furthest from the truth. A good tester works with professional copywriters who create clarity not add to confusion.
