Maybe if you're Bill Gross this is true, but the vast majority of fund managers never get on TV to talk their book in the first place. Just like (good) VCs have an investment thesis, most fund managers do too.
Going public can be a risky strategy. You only want to do it when you benefit from the exposure. You do it after you're already in the position and won't want to get more. (For instance, "I am long High Yield credit") If you're still accumulating something harder to access ("I'm buying Inverse Mortgages") then you don't want to be public. You also hold yourself up to be second-guessed. It's a tradeoff.
