MAVEN is not like a lander with regular releases of imagery, so it's much easier to conceal issues; I think that because the spacecraft was quickly saved, but then had to spend a lot of time finding new ways to operate and maintain attitude before science could begin, media attention would not have been very useful. Though we are only speculating on why it was hush-hush for so long.
