1.17 will be the easter event, essentially. They lead with their biggest gun, and if that's the only big gun they talk about, that's the only gun that'll be used.

Why are they quiet about companies?

Because they probably don't even have their design hammered out yet, let alone have them almost ready for release. The reason you don't know what companies even are is because they don't either.
Ouch, negative nancy over here. They said that companies were ready before 1.16 but they wouldn't have much quests to do. That's why people think that they may come out in 1.17.
