Not conflating anything - Gemini developers _absolutely_ knew that their biasing will only increase the amount of untruth yet they still did it. To hell with the truth as long as it hit their whatever "diversity/inclusity" goals.

No liars lie for the sake of lying - they always have a goal in mind. Google had theirs well in sight here.

xAI _actually_ cares about the truth. And puts value to it. So situations where 50% chance of being truthful is traded for 10% less chance of it saying a bad thing, xAI will not choose it. Like any model developer with moral fibre wouldn't.

About your comment - It is sometimes hard to speak things you know don't make sense to technical and truth-adhering people on HN. You should take that as a sign that maybe you should rethink your stances.
