For years, people would credit Lost to JJ Abrams, despite him stepping away almost completely after the pilot.

"from the creators of..." usually means "we got one guy who worked on..."

The Terminator series used James Cameron to promote Dark Fate, even though he was just a producer who didn't have much to do with the project

The Mortal Engines used Peter Jackson's name to try and bring in LotR fans, even though he just put up some money behind it.

Star Trek: Picard leans heavily on Patrick Stewart's star power, even though he did not write or direct, and his role is as more of a supporting character within the show. He is the producer and best known actor though, so rather than use Alex Kurtzman (who is not well-liked by fans, even though he is the brains behind the operation) the show uses Patrick Stewart to promote itself.

I recall His Dark Materials doing some producer shenanigans as well, though it has been quite a long time since I thought about His Dark Materials.
