Companies know that it's important to have Cybersecurity™. A vendor shows up with shiny brochures, and company is happy to purchase Cybersecurity™.

Now they don't have to worry about it anymore, they bought a product that sits in the corner and delivers Cybersecurity™

You've perfectly summarized the entire industry.

There's no actual market pressure to be secure, so nobody cares about threat modeling, cost/benefit of security solutions, etc. The only pressure in case of breach is political blame that you need to deflect. The point of a cybersecurity solution is to be there, remind you it is there, and allow you to deflect blame in case of disaster. Whether it actually increases security is merely a bonus side-effect.
