Someone in marketing would tell you that they aren't trying to convince people to buy things they don't need (that's an expensive way to pay for customers to abandon your product, generally) but that they are helping people understand that the problem they've had for a long time is solved by a product.

It's easy to make a teenaged girl feel like her appearance is a problem when the basis for comparison is a photoshopped Instagram model, for example. Inducing demand for a product like that does not seem very beneficial for society.
