Well, the phone being dunked in water, the end result being advertised, is that it is still a fully functional device, not that it was sacrificed to protect oneself from physical harm.

The cars, after they crash, do not work anymore.

Making a product resist damage shouldn’t confer insurance against said damage. Apple also uses Gorilla Glass so you can drop your phone a dozen times without damage. Are people mad at Apple for not covering every cracked screen?
Showing a car siding crash damage is quite different to speaking a phone still working, and manufactures of cars world be sued info oblivion if the advertised crash safety performance wasn't actually achieved.
