Anti-corporate bias is a pretty good bias for the editor of HN to be accusable of. It's a lot more common to hear the opposite and I know which one I prefer (and makes my life easier).
I don't mean to be flippant—you're right that personal opinion is affecting my judgment. I plead that (1) this is inevitable; (2) I do my best to make calls that are good for the community as a whole; and (3) there are vastly more times when I squash my personal preference in favor of #2.

The basic point here is that corporate press releases are their own genre and that that genre goes against HN's mandate at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
