Of course, a delay is preferable to a rushed launch. Cyberpunk showed we can have both, though. I'm just pushing back on this new idea that in-engine footage is a substitute for gameplay. While we're deducing stuff based on the lack of gameplay, the game not being feature complete would mean that whatever is possible in-engine is irrelevant anyway. The whole later step of scaling and optimising to the platforms they're releasing on hasn't happened yet
The launch window being so critical is the same reason why they should just say "coming soon", or announce an announcement or something for a trailer like this, in my opinion. That way the first public release about the game doesn't immediately set the tone that starts heaping pressure on the dev team. Keep in mind that tone was already set by leaks.
