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

That's certainly true. I'd still say that for the online stores, for which that policy applies, there isn't a lot of upside to preordering. Because the purchase is digital, you will always be able to get a copy on release day (unless the publisher artificially limits how many games it will sell, but I've never heard of a publisher doing this).
