When you can't control secrecy that much, you do exactly what they do - you submit multiple false leaks! And you are terribly not right that they do not surprise anyone. They do. The fact that you are technology guy that is somewhat informed doesn't change the fact that the ordinary user like my mother doesn't get surprised.

They could surprise your mother without the layers of secrecy, assuming you use as an example of someone who doesn't read tech blogs and finds out about products when they're advertised or discussed in broadsheets
