I believe the drip-feed is more to avoid a negative feedback loop. By focusing new players into packed game modes it maintains interest, and helps the community grow.
IIRC they mentioned holding off on Ranked Battle mode until 'enough' players had reached a level 10 rank. This must have happened a lot sooner than expected (or they just preferred to not chance it). A cautious move, but I feel the franchise will be better off for it.
