I think Nintendo is afraid to reveal NX

Neo/Scorpio caught Nintendo off guard, no question. Also coming off Wii U (failure), its hard to blame bigN for being meticulously cautious about the reveal. There are gaming generations, but then there's eras - NX is a new era, so its make or break for the next decade+ and Ninty wants to make sure they get it right.

Anyone saying that Scorpio and Neo caught Nintendo off guard is reaching! These .5 consoles have been rumored to be a possibility back in late 2014 early 2015. These systems are going to be underutilized versions of the original base. 

The first rumors first came to fruition during GDC this year. Iwata passed on last year in July. Nintendo is going off of what Iwata set up and since Iwata passed before the console iterations happened, I'd wager that Nintendo wasn't prepared for Pro or Scorpio.
