That isn't their job. Uncertainty is what makes them effective at what they do. If you know their moves before they make them, you can win on the arbitrage...that's why it's best to keep it close to the vest. That way, you can be sure that there is some number of people willing to take a position against a particular move.
If it is ABSOLUTELY clear what they are going to do, then it wouldn't matter whether they published or not (our current condition...it's pretty clear what's going to happen)...because the move gets built into prices.

Finally, their moves shouldn't be based on supporting the market. Their moves should be geared toward reducing inflation and maintaining growth. Both of which they have done spectacularly for 14 years.
