Knowing both Emma Jane and Konstantin personally, I would say that they are both developers and drupal community members first and marketing people second. Making a flashy site may just have been the last step that didn't quite happen. I believe it is each of their first books.
It is definitely a weak spot for the image of the book that the companion site only uses garland (Drupal's default theme) but please try to see this in context. This is two insiders in the drupal community trying to give the rest of the world the keys to the kingdom of Drupal theming, not two experienced marketers swooping in to take advantage of the next tech trend.
A good way to laugh this off might have been to just joke that if you don't buy this book your website might stay looking like this!:)

Furthermore (and the most glaring mistake, as mentioned in TFR) the website for a book about Drupal themes, has virtually no theming.
