The burden is not on the 3D artist or architect nor could you cram that much information into a few images. 3D renders give a quick representation of a building. They aren't going to be 100% accurate, nor is their purpose to show you how wide streets are or how big the trees are - that's all irrelevant in such an image, because you can find that information from other sources. I wouldn't consider it false advertising nor think we need legislation for this.
Are the trees obscuring half of the building in the picture I posted helping with this? Are the people on the sidewalk necessary to represent the building? I would argue that these are "all irrelevant in such an image" that you are describing. These were conscious decisions by the artist to make the environment that the building sits in more attractive, because these are marketing materials. Whether it's to customers, or the plannings bodies that they seek approval from.
