IMnsHO - Part of this one is due to them NOT wanting to describe
everything, to keep things flexible for the gamemasters.  Right now, the
Wot^h^h^h Wizard's tower in Seattle is perfectly described, with no... um,
flexibility to it.  Admittedly, as GMs, we can change whatever we want, but
the official description is now set in stone.   Just by reading that
description, the concept is formalized in everyone's imaginations.

And yes, you've got your teasers for future possible adventures in there.
(Though, I'm kinda teased out right now.  I can't muster excitement about X
is coming out soon anymore.)

Why did the chicken cross the road:

Crossing roads aint like dustin' crops, chick!
There's lot of precise calculations.  You could walk right into a Starrion,
bounce to close to a Chevy Nova, and that would end your trip real fast
