Why is this any different from say, Theranos?

CEOs and VCs will happily lie because they are convinced they are smarter than everyone else and will solve the problem before they get caught.

Theranos didn't have 10 different competitors doing the exact same thing. A new AI model which scores better on a random metric isn't going to suddenly make them the top model that everyone uses unless they're actually good. So while Theranos cheating would help put them in stores like CVS, an AI company cheating would just mean that they make a few sales before everyone realizes that their model is actually pretty bad compared to all the competitors.
