Frankly, I don't know. Because I don't bother asking people why they bought what they bought. At the most, I'll ask how they're liking it and if they're happy with their decision, and even then only if it is a product that is on my radar for potential future purchase. Other than that, I really don't care why.
But even if you're right, and that is the scenario... so what? Plenty of people indulge in hyperbole when exalting the virtues of their purchases. So and so book is 'amazing'. This was 'awesome'. That movie was 'brilliant'. Rarely do any of those adjectives genuinely apply to the scenario (unless the book really has 'amazed' you and left you in actual awe, which I find unlikely) but people use them all the time.
