Most of these accounts are run my external marketing agencies not by the companies itself. And from what I heard the process it's way more manual than you'd suspect. It's not impossible for a human to select the wrong file.

and why would the external marketing agency have a full copy of the movie, with no DRM?
Maybe whoever sending the content to the marketing company did the mistake, and the marketing company just obeyed their orders and uploaded it without further checking.
Maybe they also cut and edit the trailer? I don't know how they work internally.
quick search says that trailers are either made by specialized companies, or by in-house departments.
I guess that's true in 100% the cases then and there's no room for a human mistake left in this case ;)
