Because it kinda looks like it's for real. Somewhat higher production values than a fan vid or prank.
In addition to what Vegard Aune wrote...

1. Look at the date it was posted up. March 31st. So it could have been intended as an April 1st April Fools joke. With time differences, maybe it first appeared on April 1st in some places.

2. Smiling Homura pushing the two cardboard cutout-style buildings apart (0:56) is really a bit much, even for SHAFT. At least when it comes to this series.


So yeah, this is almost certainly a fake. It is a really good fake though. At most, it might be a trail balloon to gauge how much interest there is among anime fans for another Madoka movie or TV series.

Honestly, if we don't get a clear-cut sequel announcement by the end of this calendar year, I'm going to assume that there probably won't be a sequel. At least not a direct sequel, for many years. Until maybe someone decides to restart the franchise, as that sort of thing seems to be growing in popularity in the anime industry these days. Even then a reboot is probably more likely than an actual narrative continuation.
