The cynic in me thinks that VW might possibly be a bit touchy about emissions in the USA and especially California. That makes electric Golfs or VW's in general seem the natural thing to showcase in the city & state with a bit of a history with vehicle emissions.
So it's hardly surprising they've held off the Golf FL and gone for an electric car for Paris which will postpone or deflect emissions questions leading up to LA, and then launch VW's bread and butter model with a huge fanfare on home ground just before it goes into production. Obviously the launch just might have one or two things to show how VW is taking low or zero emissions very seriously. I doubt Greenpeace will be invited to the unveiling though.
