I know PhotoShop can remove reflections but do they really do it for every photo and every object in the shot? I use PhotoShop for web design. Some catalogs have so many reflective objects it seems like an enormous task.

Interestingly enough if you zoom into the where the towel rack attaches to the wall at the bottom you will see a cordless drill on the floor and the studio itself in the background. I guess angles can only go so far.

They light the object from the sides so the refection doesn't shine back at the camera.

The answer is in the family of angles. This is the area and angles where direct reflection is produced. If you want to avoid this you want to minimize the area of direct illumination and light the object with indirect illumination.
The lens determines your field of view. So if you're using a long focal length lens you can minimize the direct reflections and the family of angles.
Additionally, objects in product photography are usually lit from indirect illumination.
Considering a work flow of a catalog, I would assume it's a photographical technique.

They take the picture at a slight angle to avoid the reflection..
