I don't think anybody serious in the machine learning community has any delusion as to when a model says "A" with "99% confidence", that actually truly means that the model is fundamentally outputting "A" correctly 99% of the time.

Robustness and interpretation of machine- & deep learning models is a quite active field of research.
