I think the point is that the press release has a greater change to gain coverage in traditional media. Media that reports the press release in question might not check things like todo and bug lists (which is a bad thing, IMHO). Target audience of such media is usually not so technically oriented and might include people who has power to make a decisions within the organization they are working.

Its not hard to imagine some senior manager to get interested in and eventually disappointing because he/she got the wrong idea about the maturity of the software.
