Confusing/false advertising for the tomes?

I was wondering why no one was questioning the various cinematics which are used to promote the new tomes whereas the actual ingame content/lore you unlock doesn't mention or show anything that was shown in those advertisements.

There are two great examples which come to mind right away:

1.) Domestic abuse within the Yamaoka family, shown in the trailer. Nowhere to be seen in the unlockable Spirit cinematic, no mention within the lore.

2.) Evil Yui killing off alternate versions of herself: no cosmetics or mentions within the latest unlockables, once again.

What's the matter with that? Is there a chance of seeing these story segments in future tomes for when they revisit these characters?

    They are meant for advertise only and they have done this many times with the short teaser for their trailers as well.

    That's how you abuse multiple universes in lore, you can make things as confusing and messy as you want. And it automatically makes sense

    Hillbilly sitting in a couch watching TV with his dead parents isn't in the tome either.

    I like to think it's just some extra lore it isn't explored in the tome memories itself, but it's still canon nonetheless.
