Because it is their business to make sure data is secret. People pay for those numbers. Only reason some market reaearch forms might share data is to show sneak peak at analysis. 

But they freely shared numbers, especially hardware numbers, for many years with no problem. It was only recently that they started being super-secretive, with all this cloak-and-dagger crap surrounding the numbers. Why now, after all these years?

Just noticed how much I hate typing on my mobile. I explained why it might have been in the past as a sneak peak (didn't eleberate), now they most likely have customer base to keep it secret. If you are paying 1000s of dollars on research, you don't want it freely available to random joe.
