I rather just be first in line on the purchase day.

That's just it. The scalpers have bots that can both do this faster than you and at scale. The idea of being "first in line" is simply not realistic anymore. The lottery ensures some semblance of fairness for a limited supply brought on by the AI tech bros buying up production capacity for the next two years (or more).
