It didn't always happen so early, but when you have toys that are produced months in advance that play voice samples, those toys will have to have the later additions included (they can't "update" them after all). And there isn't a toy that can't be made to cough up those voice samples before the proper key goes on sale.

As for wishing you hadn't been spoiled about this season's additional Cures, did you miss the topic title of this thread? It clearly says "HUGtto! Spoilers". If you don't want to be spoiled, you should avoid such threads.

Even if we've been spoiled on some details of the Cures to come, we don't yet know how the plot goes. You can still enjoy the story even if you know that later on there will be one or two more Cures. If you've watched more than a few seasons of Precure, a mid-season addition to the team is no surprise at all really.
