I have no idea why it's only 2 Tests. They probably are trying to squeeze it onto the end of the Australian calendar before the IPL kicks off and all the stars get sucked out of the national sides.

I think Cricket Australia (and Cricket Admin globally) has some big problems and have skewed their priorities lately. They seem to be pandering to special interests and the idea of "bringing in new fans" at the expense of the core cricket supporters who have got the game this far.
