This may sound like conspiracy theory but often this is exactly how corporations work - especially the highly visible ones. While I am not saying the reasons point by this person are exactly the reason but there's no reason to believe things aren't souring somewhere else in the company.
This is what the PR department is for. When something in one part of the company goes bad and could be publicly visible, the CEO asks head of PR to funnel a positive story across various channels. You identify these PR-only messages by seeing if it is backed by data or by fluff.
Remember the Amazon PR about saving 4500 years of dev time - yeah riiigghhthtt.
