I always wondered about that part of press releases. Why do they always claim some executive said a paragraph of text that they very obviously didn't say? Who are they supposed to be saying it to? Is it like a transcript of an imaginary press conference??

The marketing people create a paragraph for the exec to say, and it's discussed, and the exec usually has final approval, and then it's shipped.

It's so that articles can be easily written using the press release, no work necessary!
