Because there were business benefits to them publicly announcing it? The earlier mentions that this doesn't exactly hurt the foundation weren't exaggerated. Why should they have been quiet about a simple business decision if being seen doing it was also part of the plan? Just because what they did is common practice in the business does not preclude them from also reaping other benefits by making a bigger deal out of it. Generating goodwill even possibly being one of them.
Why does it have to be that they caved to pressure? Why can't it be that they were sympathetic to the concerns and agreed that this was best for all concerned? It's not as if they're taking any financial hit here, by taking such a stance.
