Quite the opposite, these guys know what they like and more importantly, know what gets results. Of course, the company lucky enough to find their wares in use by these guys will want to exploit the fact as a means of advertising. Of course, they will offer endless cash and perks for the endorsement. However, the bottom line is that no producer/engineer as high profile as those mentioned, would need to endorse any product other than those they find of actual benefit.

Present topic aside, you can't cast away the opinions of proven studio gurus. These guys are basically genius' behind a board, I think they know a thing or two... you may find yourself in a state of denial should you not agree.
I'm not the lemming that follows the other over the cliff. I find these audio gurus' that are promotomh high dollar audio cables, fuses, and powr cords snowing the public. The problem is, nobody calls them on it and they won't enter a single blind test or a double blnd test which would quickly point out that they are not sure of what sounds better.
