The question is why HN allows a meta-link about a corporate PR (for example, a Verge story about the PR, since you don't like the direct link) but not something like this? Why is "Corporation X announces Y" intellectually interesting, but this isn't?
If by "this" you mean today's Elon drama, I've already answered that at length:

I'll diss the corporate press release any day! Beyond that I'm not sure I follow your specific point. What do you think we should do differently?
