    They are lying through their teeth

    It’s probably because am radio hurts their profit somehow

    Fuckers can design in an option to turn the hardware off when not in use and use more power efficient components and programming

      They have to put more shielding around the motor so it doesn’t leak a bit of electromagnetic, because they can interfere with the Am radio. And shielding costs money and weighs a bit more. So they rather not have a built in electromagnetic radiation detector.
