If an advert doesn’t mention the product it seems very hard to say that it’s deveiving you about what the product will do, doesn’t it?

It's deceiving you in a far less obvious and ham-fisted way: it's associating a brand with your lifestyle and your identity. It's using insights gained from psychology research to try to hack your brain into thinking that this brand is part of your tribe.
And it works. To an obscene degree, really.
