That was what i was saying the whole time. Want to play now? Buy the cheap standalone game and play now. Want the expansion as well? Easy, just preorder it now and get early access codes + preorder goodies. So say for example if i already had an account on the PC version, why would i in my right mind still buy the bundle that already includes ARR which i already have and pay the full price for it instead of just buying the expansion? Why there isn't early access in the bundle was because it is mainly targeted at potential players who have not bought/played the game at all. Yes maybe all SE needed to do was also allow veteran players who somehow bought the bundle to play the game on the 19th as well but their intention was already clear that the bundle was for brand new players in the first place and specifically said that it does not include early access for that purpose. For veteran players who mistakenly bought the bundle, the only consolation is that the bundle comes with a free month of subscription.
