I always thought it was because they were never too sure their new products would actually work until they had them shrink-wrapped and ready to ship. It saved them getting egg on their face for announcing something they couldn't really deliver on.
And because of their "no announcement until ready to ship" policy, we'll never know how many stupid or impossible things Apple has tried to come up with. Makes them seem much more powerful than perhaps they really are. They may have had just as many embarassments as any other technology company, but those embarassments remain in-house and never make it to public knowledge.
