So is this like the Punxsutawney Phil of Japanese Cherry Blossoms?

That's a better analogy than anyone here is or has given you credit for, and it deserves acknowledgement.

But that already happened three months ago!

It's the kotatsoo has given in to her! Not that she's tatamized.
Well, I wouldn't be too surprised to see her playing games with the grand old lady anytime soon though.

Because they want to know exactly when to bully newbies of their group/company to claim good spots early. As in forcing the most junior members to camp out at the selected spot the night before the party.

If you didn't have an official declaration, though, they would likely spread out their parties and not need to bully their junior members...

They like the festivities of flowering viewing? No really, I saw people working all year without taking a day off, saving it all to take a streak off by the time sakura flowers bloom. Really, it's like and OCD to some people. The rest is just mass media.

Why so many Japanese people care the "official declaration" of blossoming, you say? I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
