Well, I'm not someone under an NDA, nor have I played on on TV, but...
The simple answer is "Because LEGO Direct asked them to." and that's about
it, really. LD initiated these meetings, and it's their call how to do
them. But even aside from that, how many people here wouldn't leap at the
chance, if asked by LD: "We'd like to get your input and opinion on
(whatever), but you'll have to sign an NDA because we don't want the
information public yet"? I know I sure as heck would.
I don't think it's an ego-tripping "I know something you don't know"
thing(1), more of an "I've got a chance to meet & influence the people who
make decisions". It's this second thing that you need to weigh against 'the
desire to be able to speak freely', which is a very different balance than
what you infer above.
Like I said above, I think being able to talk to & (possibly) influence the
decision makers would be worth agreeing to LD's release schedule of
information. I think most people here would feel the same.
YMMV
