I used to work with a guy whose first book was about to be published and it had blurbs from several very prominent people in business and politics. He told me that he and his team wrote each blurb. That’s not to say the people didn’t agree to have the blurb attributed to them, but that they didn’t even write their blurbs (and I’m pretty sure none of them had read the book).

In a sense, it's like every letter of recommendation I've ever had. The people they were "from" asked that I just write it and they'll sign it if they agree.
