Because it would be a terrible way to reveal a platform you're trying to sell. Why would Nintendo reveal their new platform at a business meeting no one pays attention to when they've specifically built a platform to make these kinds of announcements with via Nintendo Directs?
Just because they don't reveal the NX at the meeting doesn't mean they won't reveal it before E3. In fact, they have to. If the NX is coming out this holiday, that means it's launching with 3rd party games that haven't been announced for it yet. Two major third party Devs are having press conferences before Nintendo, and they are undoubtedly going to have launch games for it...
...launch games they will want to say will be on NX. If it's not revealed until Nintendo's E3 Digital Event, they won't be able to confirm the NX versions of their games. That would be very bad for Nintendo.
I think we'll get a Direct soon revealing the name and how it looks. It'll probably be the same direct that announces their E3 presence and schedule. But I now doubt we will get anything interesting about the NX at the meeting other than a confirmation that it will release this coming fiscal year.

It seems be agree on everything. My only concern is that announcing this news in the Direct might not be the most efficient method, which is why I've been straying away from talking about it. The directs might be one of the most watched gaming news methods on the internet.... but the media doesn't get a wind of it. You don't see it on the news or in the news paper, yet when Sony and Microsoft did their unveiling on a small scale, it was everywhere. The directs are great, but it doesn't reach a wide enough audience. It's focused more toward it's current audience and an outer influence around them.

Except no, news spreading on the internet reachers far more people than news and newspapers either way
