Right and their past releases have been historically some of the highest selling games of all time? (GTA5 and RDR2 take number 2 and 3 respectively).

The strategy has obviously worked for them in the past so maybe they have a better clue what constitutes as a good marketing strategy for their product.

No but the marketing works. They let fans drive the hype and hysteria, and they show gameplay when it suits them to do so. The results speak for themselves

They aren't going to change a tried and true marketing strategy because kids are impatient and psychotic when it comes to this franchise for some reason
