There was an unexpected rush to get the official apps released because Elon Musk buying Twitter massively increased the number of active Fedi users overnight (it was something like doubled in 24 hours!)

Some people think they have to use an official app to access a social network (I know they're wrong but that's what they believe) so releasing the official apps while still in beta state was probably the easiest way of helping Twitter users onto Mastodon.

The official apps weren't originally due to release so soon, but they should eventually get to a proper release state through updates. They've already had a couple of updates since release, I think?

Cool - good to know the theory.
And as always expect more to the story. Generally 'these guys' generally seem to do thing right or by their own good ways so it's reassuring there is a good reason and even shortcuts are measured or part of the overall which fill in later despite some initial 'aesthetics' and missing stuff let's say :)
