We don't expect to be punished by having to wait 2 extra days - that's all.

That sounds good in theory. Many Nexus 7 pre order customers got their tablets after they'd been released to stores. Many people were trying to cancel their pre order so they could just walk in the store and grab one but Google said no.
Also with pre orders they can start shipping and not have enough to send out to all those who pre ordered and those folks will end up getting theirs when the next batch goes out.
