Tbh it's probably because the people there are autistic enough about BFR to recognize all the little changes between now and the last update and will ask the technical questions Elon like answering, and not shit like 'how much the rocket cost'.

I know because I'm one of the autismos. Best part of the presentation was when they showed Raptor firing again this time with no TEA-TEB flash, which means the engine now uses pure spark-methalox torch systems to ignite its preburners and combustion chamber.

No way. We can take Raptor pretty much for granted. The best part was the simulation with the new 4-airbrake system. That resolves one of the great mysteries of BFS: how they're going to design wings and solve the aerodynamics problem when they're not aircraft designers.

The only thing that could destroy humanity if literally another planet hits earth. The chance of that happening is literally 0. Like, not just very, very small, but literally impossible, because all of the planets in the solar system are in stable orbits.

People aren't so excited about what SpaceX has done (though that's cool too). It's more about their rate of movement – from a single engine test rocket to a reusable 27 engine heavy lift rocket in a decade.

In an industry that has slowed to the speed of frozen molasses, that's a big deal. It's what they might achieve if (an admittedly big if) they can keep up this pace that's truly exciting. It'd be the long-awaited return of Apollo era speeds.

SLS would be cool too if its final form were launching in 2022 or 2024 maybe, but 2030+ (and potentially further with the delays inherent to the industry) is just plain sad, especially given how little of it actually new.
