The creators/writers being the god of there creation. While it would be nice if everything could be in the main materials, you just don't have room for everything, so some things have to get pushed to suplemetary materials or answers in interviews/social media. The difference being you don't really need Pottermore material to understand the original Potter books as you read them because they were written first and it's possible to be quite satisfied with the books alone without touching Pottermore. But if you rely on social media and interviews for your writing to make sense to people as it is shown for the first time, that's not good. It should be possible to understand the show on its own as it is possible to understand the Potter books on their own.

I'm not really confused about the same thing as everyone else (because I haven't seen OUATW) but if other people are confused and the writers are relying on Twitter I'm not up for that.
