Because Chainlink mainnet isn't live yet; there's no working product. Once it's out and companies that intend to use it have verified that it works as intended they'll make their announcements. This accomplishes two things:

1. It saves them the embarrassment of having to backtrack on a partnership announcement in the event that Chainlink doesn't work.
2. If Chainlink does work and these companies adopt it, they know it will be huge and LINK tokens will be a hot commodity. If they make partnership announcements before a working product is proven then they know people like us will be scrambling to buy in anticipation of its adoption and in turn drive up the price, increasing the amount they have to pay to have access to the network they'll be reliant on. By waiting to make partnership announcements they ensure that they're able to buy LINK at a cheap price and that they have a working product before any big moves are made. These companies would be vastly increasing their risk exposure by making partnerships announcements prematurely. Because they need it to work before they will talk about it. For every program and project that SWIFT announces there are plenty that only make it to various stages before being abandoned.
