It was never known to everybody else that the source code would be available 2 days later. I still remember my surprise [1] back then. I, among others to which you still seem to have bad feelings, now believe that you were indeed not malicious and just bad at public relations like many of us. But that is the hindsight and no one would know it at that time.
They were released 2 days before the source. It was just an early access thing.
