While I agree with you, the nature paper that I linked above was published by the folks at google of all places. I think a valid hypothesis is that work done during internships (or even residencies) may not be on-par with what NeurIPS/ICLR/etc require but they give publicity and thus the PR teams push for that kind of papers.

However, it still does note explain why this kind of sloppy work done and published by publicly funded research labs, except perhaps as a form of advertisement.

Well, yeah, corporate research is what it is. A lot of the value add is marketing.
