I think the original question has some logic.

If the content is untruthful, it isn't in analogy with a fruit that you don't like, it's in analogy with a rotten fruit.

I expect a refund if a rotten fruit is delivered.

Really hard to implement with content.

Perhaps a simpler analogy, you see a new bag/flavour of chips in the store, "super crunchy" "delicious", you buy it, go home, tastes horrible, barely crunchy, do you get to take it back and get your money back?

Misleading advertising is so common, I wouldn't really fret over it.

If it says super crunchy and you assess the crunchiness is merely average, well, that's your perception.

But if it says it's paprika flavoured and it turns out to be sauerkraut, you gotta bring it back to the store.

Yep! Local stores are 'happy' to refund since they tend to value customers. Megacorps... not so much.
