Because more is better. Seriously, the game they play is at this point ludicrous. I saw 18650 cell being advertised through the years as 2500mAh, to 3500mAh (still reasonable/credible), then suppliers started to one-up each other and you could see 5000mAh, 9000mAh, 9999mAh up to, I kid you not, 1.000.000mAh. If I had no clue, of course I would by the 1KAh single cell XD

Flashlights are a good example of this too. "1 million lumens", like is that mini flashlight filled with plutonium?

I wonder when they're finally going to one-up each other with the 18650 model number itself? Make it 18660, 19650 or 18650000!

Anecdote: back in 2004, a friend brought home a cheap digital audio player from her vacation to China. IIRC, it said on the front panel that it could play back MP3, MP4, and MP5.

That's a real thing, there: https://docs.fileformat.com/video/mp5/

It’s still bogus and not a real file format. Just MP4 files renamed into MP5.
