I guess I just don't see the upside in them keeping certain news and plans so secretive. Even Don apparently had a bit of fuss with them about his construction flyover videos.
I imagine that there are various options that are being considered, and if any one of them is revealed, people will come to rely on it. Then, should a different option either come available or be decided upon (for any of a number of reasons!), then they'd get called all kinds of names for not pursuing the one option that was made public.

Not revealing the options can also help keep prices down by allowing negotiating leverage since they wouldn't be cornered into a specific option.

The downside to all this is that the public speculates, and we'll make stuff up if we don't have real information. A possible good rule of thumb is that when there's nothing specific then all options are possible, and possibly they are open to suggestions.
