It makes all sense.
MLS Next 2 (Academy) was founded to expand the brand MLS Next, get money, and steal market from ECNL.
The transition from U12 to U13 ECNL/SY would be smooth in comparison to U13 MLSNext/BY.

I can't understand how/why GA and MLS didn't reach a decision together and then go public together.

I work for a club from Madison/Milwaukee area, we’ve got MLS Next AD and HG teams at North and Mid America divisions.
We talked on last Thursday with our regional MLS Next representative. He confirmed to us they are still debating, pros and cons.
Clubs are pushing to align AD and HG age cutoffs, otherwise it’d be very difficult for us to organize the rosters and feeders from younger teams, below U13s.
Again: it’s still undecided.
If HG stays BY, what is your clubs plan as to how you will handle the younger feeder teams? Will they stay BY as well?
Good question! Also undecided on our side, however our CEO gave us hint about maybe moving to ECNL/ECN-R.
Our girls do ECNL, so having the whole club under the same umbrella (and age cutoff) would be easy for us.
Now, we consider absolutely unmanageable to have a BY team at Homegrown and SY at Academy.
No it wouldn't.
As long as MLS stays the top teir that it already is players will flock to it.
Mr Ugh with the douchey, troll comment.
Sometimes the truth is hard to read.
Tell us more about the MLSN international play and selling of players. We have heard your entire big bag of BS in awhile

Did they give any indication of when the decision would be made?
No indication at all.
Regional representatives are gathering input from p2p clubs like us.
I believe there is a conflict of interests between MLS academies (they prefer BY) and we MLS Next p2p clubs (we push for SY).
Frustrating that they are just now gathering input, doesn’t sound like a decision is coming anytime soon.
