Seems like this product has been criticized quite a bit on the web before it's even out.
I understand that people think the "Sound of an Icon" tag is a little odd. But in that sentence they are most likely talking about the piano itself, and not Alicia. Alicia is an icon like Norah Jones is an icon. The piano on the other hand is a classic and I think that's what they are trying to say with that line.
However I agree that they shouldn't have claimed that they used this piano on the album because it was the best sounding option out there. There's no way in hell it could top, or even be as good as, the real deal with all the beautiful complexities in sound.
That claim has probably hurt the credibility of the product/company a little bit. I think the samples sound good but they sound like a well sampled piano and that's it.
I wish they would have come out and said "Look, we know it doesn't sound quite as good as the mega expensive real deal, but this is extremely convenient, it's sampled by experts, it works well mixed fairly low in the track, and you can't beat the price either". That kind of honesty would have been kick-ass.
