I just don’t like that everyone also does time-limited demos. Like you’re only able to play the demo from this date to this date or something like that. Why not just keep the demo around for others who want a crack at it?
My guess is that the demos are released to find bugs, so if the demo stays up, they’ll get bug reports for bugs they have fixed (and I’m not a game dev but I’d imagine that constantly having to compile new builds that are specially made as a demo with the bugs patched out would be annoying)
