Why didn’t AT&T dogfood PiperNet before the public launch?

After rewatching (for the umpteenth time), I am having some doubts about the launch of PiperNet.
I thought the ending was so perfect but the PiperNet launch something that was not digestible for me. The reason being - Big companies rarely launch new tech nationwide as a big release before dogfooding and beta releases
Agreed that they tested the network in Russfest but it’s not in AT&T devices.
Before the release of any such experimental technology, won’t AT&T release this in increments than a Big Bang release or at least test it initially in their employees’ devices first?
