I believe @virtuals_io's statement is genuine. But times have changed. Back when VIRTUAL was blowing up, almost all the attention was on-chain, during Solana's MEME season. Binance actively screened and listed high-quality projects, which was totally expected—pretty much every exchange did the same. The problem now is that on-chain innovation trends have yet to scale up, and Binance is proactively building a closed ecosystem, creating a Wallet+Alpha+Contract all-in-one combo. In theory, high-quality projects in external ecosystems might lose the preferential treatment they once could have enjoyed.
