It's a really simple reason, too:
You post the documentation, and it happens to have a bug/error/similar nuisance. Maybe it's caught and corrected, maybe not.
4 months later (you know, middle/end of build), some other team finds that documentation that you posted, with the bug, and follows the directions exactly--despite the fact that a) it's beta documentation and b) the bug has been fixed and the fix posted (elsewhere).
Could it happen? Yes. Is it likely to happen? Well, if the documentation isn't published, it sure isn't likely!
