I don't think the comparison works. Choosing the words Simple. Secure. Stunning may or may not accurately describe what the application may be, but it clearly describes the priorities of the designers of the application.

Not all applications consider looking Stunning an important goal. These 3 words tell me that the application designers consider security, ease of use, and good looks as their major priorities while designing the application.

A person self proclaiming that they are sexy and handsome is either lying (if they are not) or they are boasting about their genes, which is not something today's society considers boast worthy.

I can see that. I don't think I'd have an issue if this was their mission statement and plastered all over their office walls as something aspirational. But that's not how it is being used here.
