In these situations there usually is no actual logical reason.
The corporate "reason" is that a new CEO must be seen implementing dramatic changes (activity > progress).
In this case I'm not sure if Satya the Saint [tm] started this roadmap, but for sure he managed to associate himself with it and take credit for it.
As others said, a new CEO can easily reverse the whole process in order to have a "new" little triumph.
It is all meaningless...
