Yeah, it could all be fake 
. But I think it's fun to assume it's not, and try to understand their motivations.

Yes, great example.

It just hard to make any conclusions without knowing how many of these they sell and if/how they adjust that number
Maybe a number of people did see that and decided to buy
Maybe there was only a couple left and one group decided to buy it and that used it up
Maybe they had a ton available but decided to reduce the number to signal that things can sell out
My guess is option 2 - or that today was a day with just a couple left and they decided to call it a sell out to add to that signal that things can sell out on any day so if you are thinking about it, buy ahead
But who knows

I've mentioned it before, but I'm sure they know the approximate % of LL guests that hit a given attraction in a given hour. I would assume a 20 min LL is unacceptable for anyone paying this kind of money. Peter Pan can only take 800 people an hour, or about 270 people in a 20 min span.
Disney needs to keep the total number of LLPP and LLMP reaching Peter Pan in a given time from creating a 270 person line (this also assumes they are willing to grind standby to a standstill). 270 basically can't all show up at once

When a physical item that needs to be manufactured and stocked and the last of that physical item has been sold and there is actually no more in stock, it’s not a ploy, there are none to physically sell.
LLPP is nothing, vapor, the inventory is controlled by a few keystrokes and poof, it’s either “in stock” or “sold out”.
In Defense of Disney, perhaps they limit LLPPs are to mitigate the LL wait times for the poor folk who just purchased LLMPs or LLSPs. The artificial demand for LLPPs is just a happy side effect
As for the folks on standby let those poor losers wait……. Most are probably APs anyway

We all understand that there's no physical product. That doesn't mean there aren't physical manifestations of how many they sell.

I just noticed that it’s now on the homepage of the app. That wasn’t always the case, you used to have to use the search feature to find it.

I think Disney has adopted this approach with DCL also, it’s become very common to be placed in a queue when I search for cruises on their website, I’ve noticed it creates a sense of anxiety that I better book now because there’s so many people looking.
We all know Disneys IT is a bit sketchy but if Amazon can handle millions of simultaneous users I find it questionable that the DCL website can’t handle a tiny fraction of that without having to resort to queues.

I admittedly have not booked a DCL cruise, but having worked on similar platforms, the reason for the queue is because of the booking hold, not because of an inability to handle traffic.
