The problem is that press releases often only give one side of a "story", while news articles often present it in a valuable narrative context.

E.g. a new product was announced because the old one used to catch fire. I mean the context isn't usually that dramatic, but there's often important information about a price change, or a response to previous consumer complaints, or how it fits into the broader product line, or is a response to competition -- all of which is much more valuable than anything in a press release.

This is a weird gray area where although Twitter/X is the canonical source for many announcements, users don't upvote them unless it's from a more respected domain. (and often with a more informative title)

It’s not about respect for the domain, it’s the fact that the website is outright broken and I cannot view the content that was linked to.

It was the case well before Elon acquired it.

Press releases are basically just advertisements.

Sure, but that’s what journalists do - verge articles are just repeats of the original source with nothing added other than a clickbait headline and larger images.
