Maybe I misunderstand what you mean when you say "playing the crowd", as that to me means they are trying to fool the crowd which I don't think is what is happening.

"playing the crowd" -- Just doing stuff to bait responses and engagement... Floating things or responding to fan stuff to keep driving interest and engagement (vs shutting concepts down with no substitute). By engaging and saying its a possibility... all those who are clamoring for tidbits feel acknowledgement and keep pushing onward. It's an a means to keep driving interest in a topic without actually committing to any specific angle at all.

It's a tease - Of course the more interest and buzz they help cultivate - the better the chance for their show to continue.

Marvel has been willing to shutdown fan theories when they aren't accurate after the series are over. For example Jac Shaffer herself, I believe it was her, shutdown all those Mephesto theories from WandaVision quickly after the show was over, she was the writer there too after all.

So this would be a departure for a Marvel writer/director to give details as some "baited response" just for engagement. If she is acknowledging it its because I have to believe its the reality of what they were thinking.
