I guess very few PR departments would agree with you

Seriously who cares about what a PR department thinks. Their job is literally to lie and manipulate people.

It's not about caring. It's about what gets done

It's about psychological manipulation. PR is really just propaganda renamed and repackaged. I don't believe they should be able to practice what they do at all.

If their craft was allowed they should be held to a high standard with a stringent set of ethics backed up by laws.
