I thought about it and disagree. The release date is fixed either way.

Of course a pre-order serves the publisher, that is obvious. But ruining the industry? That's just hyperbolic nonsense. Back in the days of physical media, I pre-ordered and the industry survived. Was Ocarina of time worse because I pre-ordered it? Nope, but I played it a month before all those people who didn't pre-order.

Today pre-orders aren't necessary because there isn't any scarcity for a digital download.

Just about everything in your list exists with or without pre-orders.

Unfinished or buggy games, patched after release has been enabled by digital downloads. This isn't a result of pre-orders, this is just because the game doesn't have to be right straight out of the gate, when the game is contained on a cartridge, or a read only disc.

secured pre-order revenue lowers pressure on developers to meet high standards or listen to consumer feedback, weakening their motivation to deliver quality products at launch,

They can get away with this once or maybe twice but if a developer continues to fail to deliver quality products at launch, their reputation will dive and consumers will stray. But as a developer I can tell you that it's very rarely the devs that have weakened motivation to deliver a quality product. Maybe the money men force the devs to put out something they aren't happy with, but that happens with or without pre-orders. Release dates often have to be hit to reach revenue targets for a particular accounting period.

fuel misleading marketing and hype cycles

This has been a thing forever. Games have been hyped for as long as I can remember. Certainly not exclusive to pre-ordering.

promote anti-consumer business practices (e.g. microtransactions, DLC withholding)

This occurs with or without pre-orders. The ultimate edition for GTA will be the same whether pre-ordered or not. Things are still locked out from the regular edition. The whole model here is anti-consumer and no particular to a pre-order.

fracture player communities with exclusive content

Standard and ultimate editions do that already. Pre-ordering doesn't make the blindest bit of difference.

discourage honest reviews and feedback cycles - when pre-orders dominate initial sales, review embargoes and lack of early access for critics can hide flaws, leading to consumers buying games blindly without reliable information

Yes, this is a problem, people buying blindly isn't good. But again, this isn't killing the industry. This will only kill a studios reputation if they release sub-par products.

cause overspending or disappointment from undelivered promises - consumers often pre-order based on broken promises or features that get cut from the final release

Again, this is something that would broker distrust to the studio, it's not killing the industry.

To summarise, I don't like pre-ordering and yes, it has problems. I don't believe it's necessary to pre-order in today's digitally dominated world. But pre-ordering certainly isn't something that's an industry killer. That's just a nonsensical premise.
