Maybe, just maybe, the developers sometimes launch their products in ways which will trigger long threads on forums – maybe over weeks or more; threads which boost the interest in and focus on an upcoming product. And I don't blame them, they need to make money like everyone else, espeifcally nowadays. But as long as the word 'estimated' is in there, I assume that there will be delays.
If I should choose between 'we always keep a promise about release date' and 'we always wait with releasing a library until we have sorted out all the stuff we need to fix', I'd definitely go for the latter – by large margins. And that goes for demos and walkthroughs too.
Besides, we have seen libraries that are better demonstrated by user examples than company demos, and also seen demos which sound quite good even with libraries which struggles with some unresolved issues. And since the quality of the demos demos can brake it or make it for sample libraries, I actually hope they take the time they need – because sometimes, when I've heard disappointing demos which are followed up by improved demos later/demos with an improved version of the library, I don't always check those updates. So personally, I guess I – if the estimated release date for the library and demos end of January – kind of expect mid-March (for companies that are serious about fine-tuning and bugfixes).
