Should't press releases, if anything, be factual?

  Press releases are public-relations/marketing/propaganda, the opposite of factual.

    I think you are describing the difference between 'should' and 'are'.

  No. Press releases always had to goal to pre-write things for journalists and - in the best case - not do too much fact-checking. They are a PR invention and never had the goal to be too rooted in reality.
