Is there a technical term for when a company or corporation makes a statement that is a blatant bad faith argument like that?

If none exists, I’d call it “Corporate massturbation”. Because they’re trying to jerk everyone off.

Edit Here’s another one: “Corporate Anal Ostriching.” Because they’re shoving their heads up their own asses

It’s always the same argument. “This objectively bad thing for consumers is actually good for consumers because it allows us to offer a lower price!”

No, dipshits, you are choosing to make your product shittier than necessary and charging customers to undo your shittery. That’s not some external thing, it’s something that you chose.
