That's a fair point of view. But evidently, lots of people disagree with you and, and, for one reason or another, do want to pay for some products before they are made. I'm sometimes one of them - I will pay for a prerelease. Sometimes it's to help (e.g. I'll buy books on preorder to help authors I like), sometimes it's to help get a product made, sometimes I get benefits (it costs less than it will later, at least supposedly).
