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

Bethesda (ie Howard himself) offered physical objects with the 76 preorders. One was a canvas bag. They didn't send them to anyone. Then they eventually relented and shipped nylon bags.

For Starfield they're promising a free watch. I'm excited to see what the shit show will be with that one.

They did sort out the canvas bag, I have one. A bit off there, the nylon bag came with the Power Armour edition. It did take a long time for them to be made and shipped out. Unlike other game companies who didn't rectify premium editions.
