What is going on with these trailers

So many games have an animated movie / collection of cutscenes as the first trailer on their page showing very little or literally zero gameplay. I know that for RPG's the dumb story is important, so it can be a relevant part of the game to show some cutscenes... but even in that instance it's the least important thing I want to see if I'm considering buying it.

Am I the only one who clicks off and never looks back when I encounter this? If you're not showing the game I'm assuming it's generic slop. Honestly the fact that this works for driving sales is shameful.
