Yeah, it's just a head start. It's not like pre-orders get something other people won't be able to get.
It makes sense when you think about it. When you pre-order, you give EA (and EB) a head start on getting paid... and they give you a head start on your stats. However, at the end of the day, they're both going to still get paid anyway and everyone else is still going to get those same stats anyway.
