This is indeed a side effect from research papers being read more outside academia (which is strictly a good thing in itself).
In research one learns that most (almost all) papers oversell their results and a lot of stuff is hidden in the "Limitations" section. This is a significant problem, but not that big a problem within academia as everybody, at least within the field, knows to take the results with a grain of salt. But those outside academia, or outside the field, often don't take this into account.
Academic papers should be read a bit like marketing material or pitch decks.
