I wouldn't say lying, but possibly speaking imprecisely. The general audience probably doesn't know or care about the difference between on-dim versus on-off, so they could just be using a more common description. "Look, it even has an off switch" is probably more meaningful to the average user/journalist watching the demo than "Look, it even has a dim switch" (responded to with "It has a what?").
I'll see if I can find a link to their explanation that says the color is dependent on the backlight.
