Anyone who works for any sort of product company can answer that:

1. So the competition don't find out. Actually, this is largely 
bogus, as everyone knows pretty much what everyone else is doing in 
any niche industry. This is just to hide the real reason, which is...

2. To ensure people keep buying current models, since that's what 
pays R&D's salary.

I have been "involved" (peripherally, not causally, I should 
emphasise) with two companies that have had either large plants or 
whole divisions close because of an incautious salesman letting 
details of the new model slip.
