Having worked on both sides of the table, the reality is that it is far too easy to game certs like ISO27001. The risk calculation by companies taking that route is changing right out from under them thanks to Ai tools.
These certs only exist for compliance, not for security. Nobody cares they don't add any extra value, because they allow every business to say "my supplier was ISO certified, so I did my due diligence".
And nobody really ever gets prosecuted for lying during their audit.
