I somewhat agree with this part of your comment, but at the same time I think if we would to be at the same position, as a creator, you would at the very least like to show some appreciation to the people that is financially supporting your project. And you have only some ways to do that. An early release is a way to do that.I find it kinda dumb. If a person wants to support a developer, he will do it. It doesn't matter if he gets the game sooner or later. It is a serious mistake to assume that if a person received the game for free, he will not pay the developer. If a person doesn't want to support a developer, or he doesn't have the money to do it, he won't do it.
