That is a very interesting take on the situation, especially because the tort of fraud starts from the opposite first principle: that customers may reasonably rely on the promises made by sellers.

I agree that fraud is under-prosecuted. Users so rarely sue their database provider, howsoever richly it is deserved.

The stickers come from organizations that are largely captured by vendors. Kudos to Jepsen for maintaining independence.
