Why couldn't it be preloaded?
Because it would disrupt being able to continue playing early access right upto release, I remember reading in a tweet
Personally, I would have opted for just stopping early access to preload but people have gotten angry over stupider stuff before, I guess
I mean there is no perfect option there really, you're gonna piss people off either way. I would say though locking people from playing a full price AAA game they paid for is probably more controversial than not being able to provide a preload.
