As Powerplay 2.0 is Simon's "baby" being the lead artictect it makes sense that he's the one to do a proper deep dive into the mechanics, especially as he is really excited about it and has the most knowledge.
It was unfortunate that Simon is off sick at the moment and Frontier had two choices - either cancel the Powerplay "show & tell" completely or show some of the visuals which Luke kindly stepped in and talked about in Simon's absence. It would have been disappointing to Simon (and us) if he wasn't around to talk about the mechanics.
So I wouldn't give up hope just yet as I'm sure that if there are exciting things to be said about the mechanics that will happen in due time with Simon doing the talk/demo.
