Other Is it weird that Apple choose to show iPhone 13 mounted on a motorcycle?

I mean - right where they just the other day said "thou shalt not do this"??

(In the event recording, the "Hero" video starts at 55:19 and follows a day of motorcycle delivery rider with the phone mounted on the handlebars)

From that support article:

Attaching your iPhone to vehicles with small-volume or electric engines, such as mopeds and scooters, may lead to comparatively lower-amplitude vibrations, but if you do so a vibration dampening mount is recommended to lessen the risk of damage to your iPhone and its OIS and AF systems. It is also recommended to avoid regular use for prolonged periods to further lessen the risk of damage.

That bike in the ad is obviously not high-powered (the kind the article is emphasizing) and he could be using a vibration dampening mount.

I get it, I get it... you can split hairs on this but the video specifically featured some 'action shots' which would produce significant vibration and stress on OIS (especially now that sensor shift is in non-pro range).

I just found it a bit weird.

Maybe creating this video is where they got their information from…

I think the action in that video and real life are a big difference like most commercials or ads.
But it could be a faux pas on Apple’s part. Send Tim Cook email on it. Wouldn’t be the first time a company had conflicting information.
