Arguably they have to give some context for people that are not as deeply informed about that project as many HNers are. I don't think it's that bad to state the vision, progress and outcome before announcing they will not manufacture their own planes anymore.
Maybe it's a way to advertise what they've worked on in case someone reading it might want to contract with them, for corporate or military uses (whatever they may be, knowing they have built drones is definitely applicable to a range of projects).
