Two-fold. It is for hype but also to prevent people from buying the old model right before it is discontinued which would lead to returns.
No, just marketing. All Apple products are the most magical, wonderful devices ever right up until the second the new one comes out. People who bought one yesterday are going to be returning it as well.

Taking the entire website down, including returns and customer service, is completely unnecessary.

Last fall I happened to try to print a return label during this stunt. Can’t access anything.
