Why do all start-ups say this? I don't think there are many companies publicly saying "We're going to go 'scorched earth' on everybody."

Because if they had the money to be honest about it they'd not be a start-up!

It was a meme over a decade ago so prevalent that HBO's Silicon Valley did a joke about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8C5sjjhsso

Saying it in 2026 just makes it sound more insincere than usual.
