I think they're just trying to reinforce the notion of Brexit = economic risk and they know being way over the top grabs headlines. It also sidelines what Leave are saying so their message simply doesn't get across. Even if people dismiss it as scaremongering it's sticks in the mind. Like Obama's intervention the point isn't to win friends but seed fear and doubt.
