Obviously to quiet their contractor and client fears. Shareholders know that replacing the hardware would be a major cost and PR damage intense.

It's still an odd strategic move though. They could get caught in the lie, in which case they would both be exposed to pretty serious legal and financial trouble.

Replacing the hardware would be cheap compared to the hit they could take getting caught in such an outright lie. Public companies have obligations to their shareholders not to lie about things like this. They're opening themselves up to lawsuits.
