Is there a real advantage for them to patent this as opposed to keeping it a trade secret?
Why would they patent this and make their intentions known publicly?

My thoughts exactly. It's easy enough to hide infringement of a patent like this that I doubt they'd ever be able to enforce it anyway. Did they forget that journalists scan patent filings, especially from big, newsworthy companies?
