I'm sure that the verbiage "Can Contribute To" would be more accurate than "Can Lead To". They probably figure that being more dramatic about it will get them more clicks and hence advertising dollars though.
It's annoyingly oversimplified.. all hat, no cattle. They could have at least provided a link to a site that's actually helpful, that focuses on positive dimensions (like the one Jo provided) instead of creating a lot of vague and unhelpful blame while using derogatory terminology (really, sloth?).
