One way it could have happened: marketing says "let's have someone live code from the NYSE trade floor, that'll be great marketing"- and an engineer begrudgingly does it. Another way it could have happened: some engineer nerded out, and said at a team meeting "can I live code from the NYSE trade floor? It's silly but would be super fun!". To which marketing replies "yeah, and that'd be great for the company image too- do it!". You seem to interpret it as the first version, but for all we know it could be the second. Something that would not be out of line with the personality of someone like Woz either.
