Never attribute to malice anything that can be better explained by incompetence. They probably thought having the instructions online would be easier than printing. Especially if there were any mistakes. Then they likely thought they should protect them so not everyone can view them, only purchasers. Then they likely thought they may as well take contact details in case they need to make people aware of faults/errors/updates etc.

Like the article says: what need is there to make updates to instructions to a mechanical puzzle? Creating a registration system, taking steps to only provide instructions to those that register - all of that has a cost. I doubt this company would incur a cost unless they considered it an investment.

  Sure, but it's likely as innocent as trying to get you to buy more puzzles.

  Ermm, because it's not. The puzzle is part of the game of finding the gold coins in the real world (see Wikipedia entry). Of course they're going to want to update that.
