How does that benefit Apple?

  They probably aren't interested in catering their beta kit to people who aren't Apple Developers... A good way to cut out a ton of noise in one step.

  For Yosemite they did an open beta: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram But in that case, it makes sense to get bug reports from non-developers.

    Still, as I remember, the release notes were still only presented to developers.

  You'd have to ask Apple. I have no idea. But if I were to venture a guess, I'd say it has something to do with minimizing the press jumping all over speculative statements for features that are weeks (if not months) away from release still. But that's just one thought. I really have no idea.
