+1 for Mickael's comments. Everyone needs to be a thinking about
improving the user experience.
Interesting many of the IoT projects seem to get it too.

Sounds to me just like an excuse to not even try improving things.
Marketing people are not the only one who are able to consider
interaction with the users. Here we're not speaking about
marketing for that page, but about pure user-experience:
accessibility, interactions, guidance... Being able to produce
good interaction and guiding users is a skill that is expected
from a UI developer, although it's not necessarily easy for them.
We all have the skills to improve that page, even without being
trained to marketing. Maybe it won't be perfect but it can easily
be better. The process is a regular Eclipse contribution process.
All that said, I see no external reason why you (or anyone else)
shouldn't improve that page. It's totally fine if you're not
personally motivated about making this change, but I don't think
the whole model is to blame for that.
