I suspect it's about not letting the competition know anything about your system.
If system X says they have a 1 ghz processor and say 512 megs of ram, then a competitor can just come along and say "well, we have 1.5 ghz and 1 gig of ram, so we're better" in an attempt to sway the customers
Not that they don't try to make those sorts of comparisons anyway, but actually having the specs publically available might make a system more susceptible to this imo.
The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.
