Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

Availability is the thing though. Some games could be really demanding, or have a huge install requirements. Like I'm certainly never going to buy a console and a copy of the last of us to play it, that's something I can just watch the cutscenes for. But then there was the new Zelda game and I refused to watch anything on it and only play it blind, knowing that watching people play the story would just worsen my experience lol. I'd say most games you can just watch to get the "gist" of it anyways. Also playing games uses more mental energy then just simply watching it.
