Not to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.
If you don’t like announcement teasers then don’t watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?
It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest
“That’s kinda how announcement trailers usually go?” Isn’t an appeal to tradition or a moral preference statement, which you seem to interpreted it as… It was just questioning your expectations. They are simply pointing out that you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be.
Announcement trailers are non-committal by design - it’s the formal declaration of a project without making promises that are too early to make.

I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.
I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.

My critique is of the argumentative style of “everyone does it, so it’s fine”.
That’s it.
