You're taking the single-player mindset of the Chosen One and applying it to the entire population, though. Not everything as it appears in game is a direct, literal effect on the world. When you're carrying corpses for a main story quest, they're represented in your key items as flowers, and you carry several at once. I don't think they actually turned into flowers for you to sprint full speed with.
This is a matter of opinion, though. I just think the local team was having fun with the language and leaning on the fourth wall a bit.
