Why the sudden upsurge in communications?
I’d put bets on two contributing causes;
1 - the magazine article that clearly not all parties in the PR round table had gotten ahead of. “That’s not real” - handwave dismissively. Next day, full announcement on the forums with bells and whistles
2 - they were going away again for 6 weeks / on a 10 week work hiatus, so it’s a great time to get some positive news out there.
I like it. I just don’t think it’ll last. Especially if the forum horde turns … 
There’s been a couple of times in FS’s history where they communicated well, got a bit of backlash from the decisions made, choice of wording, or speed of changes and then they clammed up again.
I know it sounds like copium, but the game might be great regardless of that.
Also, it honestly might be as simple as they didn’t secure funding for the servers in time for beta. Or the publisher said - the hype is too big, let’s not do beta, we need more pre-orders.
Most companies do avoid trying to keep so much communication and transparency because of leaks that occur. Behind the scenes FS has worked on a ton of things we have no idea of yet, hence when Secrets Of The Machine God came out, every prior map had areas that were overhauled/renovated, theres now segments of explosive pipes and they been adding more valves for puzzles or mission objectives (there are also some in the early parts of Clandestium Gloriana that are not functional yet, maybe for a martyr skull relic to be added). Additionally, adding the Bolt Pistol, Shock Mauls, Hacker Shotgun and Pickaxes as the summer 2024 new weapons release was really rad as they also did make fixes to many other weapons such as the XV Heavy Eviscerator, Recon Lasguns, Flamer, and Bolter to name some. Those were unexpected yet desirable – so it makes me feel like maybe there is alot at work they are constantly trying to do – Crafting Rework will meet some expectations, I been preparing for it by my own buying of items strategies and such to help with those T1 and T2 blessings that are missing on some.
As we also get the Crafting rework, I feel we are due for new progress path cosmetics for rewards too, I already reached the current final Penance rewards of the Gloamus Armor sets. I also have Master of War for my Ogryn, Psyker, Vetean and Zealot. We also all know that for the most basic unembellished colors of weapons they need to allow us to purchase with Ordo Dockets from Commissary other than just the Red and Blue-Grey – let us get to have for all weapons Black and any shade or color befitting of lore theme and desired by player. Reasons I say this too is because in the Commodores Vestures shop they offer weapons that have excellent dimensional embellishments like skulls, purity seals, “wear and tear marks” etc which is what makes sense to have for premium items for people to buy, yet for having the most basic colors and shades like red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, grey, black either they need to update the Commissary or if they are going to not and charge for a Color Pallette DLC then so be it, I bought the imperial pack where some weapons got those skins, even bought some skins from Commodores Vestures yet I am still wanting to have this added to the game.
