You can think of it as a small signal that the inside matches the outside: what is shown is what is really there, not a polite performance. Speakers reach for it exactly when a listener might reasonably suspect the opposite.
可以想成:genuinely 是在句子裡多加一句「這不是裝的」。說話的人怕你把他的話當成客套或做給人看的表面工夫,就用這個字把裡面和外面對齊——他表現出來的,就是他裡面真有的。也正因為如此,這個字通常出現在「本來有可能是假的」的場合。
