I view it just the opposite: as a good marketing move. Publishing gel test photos would serve to renew interest in the steel-cased round during the time between the announcement and delivery of the ammo.
As to why I'd like to see the gel tests, it's to have some hard data that would enable a better evaluation of 6.5 Grendel's military potential. To date we have almost exclusively theory, and virtually no test results.

No ammunition manufacturer stands to gain by releasing pre-production tests. To do so would violate a long established tradition.
Actually, AA released pics of the pre-production 123gr SMK gel test. It wasn't a "marketing blunder" and nobody used it against 6.5 Grendel.And nobody here has given any logical reason to conclude that showing gel test photos of the pre-production 110gr FMJ would be any different.
