You have the question entirely wrong. This would be the domain of Rockstar. Why haven't they disclosed details in regards to the expansions. Why have they been reluctant to share details about the game itself. Microsoft may have purchased these expansions up front, but its only proper to let the developer do the unveiling. So you really have no reason to be upset with Microsoft anymore then you have a reason to be upset with Sony, or Nintendo for that matter. The console manufacturers do not one up their third parties big announcements.
The real question is why Rockstar is holding out on interested consumers when it comes to the games details, and the details of these expansions. I suppose they want to increase the impact of the announcements, but the episodes are also supposed to have a play time of around ten hours each so it is safe to say they are as they said epic in nature. They may feel too much detail up front may harm the game especially if these expansions enhance the multiplayer experience for example through radically different competitive game modes.
Lets be brutally honest that is what almost every 360 fan loves to get with expansions. They want more things to do with friends and strangers online in their games. Imagine if one of the modes is helicopter duel low in the city. That definitely adds an entire dimension to the game if these expansions come with such things, and any real fan would obviously buy the game that will have that kind of enhancement down the line.
