It's probably because in the past when they've said about something and it hasn't arrived when expected (or exactly the same as initially described) a large portion of the player base has taken up pitchforks. So it's just safer for them to not give us any information now unless they are 100% certain of something.

SE very likely have plans/designs of where things are going, but things might come up later to either no longer make them viable or make them take considerably longer than expected... neither reason would matter to most of the player base so from their perspective I honestly think they probably see it as better not say anything rather than something that might later turn out not to be a case.
