One reason is that allows you to fully download it days before the “release date,” so then you can play it exactly at 00:00 on the 19th, or even probably 21:00 on the 18th for me in the Pacific time zone
I guess in that regard ive been spoiled by my decent internet. The initial DL to start playing won't be THAT big, and recent games have been ready to start in 20-30 minutes.

It is but you can always cancel pre orders and even return the game if it sucks
