It could be one or both of the above.

It's both. FCA knows these cars have terrible resale value, so they have to encourage people with only money for a used car to pick up a new one instead. BMW does the same thing. It makes leasing a great option for them but destroys their value in the long run.

So good you won't have one huge bill over your head but how is your credit? Most lease deals require AAA credit ratings to get the advertised payment (+ money down...which is unwise when leasing). There are also various fees associated with leasing and turn in that many people leave out for the total cost of the car. So keep that in mind. What are your reasons for wanting to lease?
