I think in practice this is actually largely untrue -- with technology products, video games, movies, and just about anything I can think of, most well known reviewers are given early access to the product so that reviews can come out on or before day 1 of general availability. That said this does create a dirth of 100% trustworthy reviews on day 1 since companies are naturally disincentivized from giving early access to reviewers who they know are going to write a negative review.
