I hate that we’re at a place where you now have to assume every business is lying to you every time their lips are moving/they communicate. How did we get here?

Market optimization. Mistaken beliefs are arbitrageable.

A combination of "buyer beware", inadequate consumer advocacy, bought legislators, and a lack of competition.

The only reason not to lie would be real negative consequences, and those don't happen so much in the fake news era.
