I think there are a few things at play here
1. Principal agent problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%E2%80%93agent_proble...
2. Illusory truth effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect
So like you said in the beginning, it makes sense that people selling something will highlight "evidence" that it works (principal agent problem).
Marketing is counterintuitive though. Please take a look at illusory truth effect and tell me what you think.
