One possibility is because they honestly feel (as I do) that it really doesn't make a difference. So, by definition, they can announce that or they don't...and it doesn't make a difference, either way. Why don't they announce it, then? *shrug* Because it doesn't make a difference.
But, I would say the much more likely reason is because, as you're pointing out (to a degree that is making me even start wondering the meta-question of why is it necessary to point out so vehemently why it matters that the commentary be live...but that's a different topic altogether), there *are* people to whom it matters. So, they don't announce it, so that those don't know the difference.
If they're doing their job right, you'd never know in the first place, so what purpose would it serve them to announce it, if the only possible outcome would be to piss off some of their audience?

If it doesn't make any difference, then why doesn't NBC just make it clear when the commentary is real time and when it is added later? I suspect because to most people it does make a difference.
