I specifically addressed this:

You don't have to explain anything. You don't have to set up a website (case here already had a website, code was just hidden). I'm not sure where these requirements come from, but it's not true, and I'd argue you do more harm giving the impression of secret development than you do not accepting input at an early stage. We all understand the latter, but many of us are wary of the former when someone says their committed to openness and does the opposite.
