Yes I'm sure their feedback will be absolutely invaluable since they know jack-shit about the game in the first place.

And yes I am aware Alpha is purely for stress/server testing, in which case I STILL don't see a point in this apparent priority to non playing users. How is playing a stress test with one zone and almost no content going to convince them to come back?

They'll play it once or twice and put it in their heads this is how the retail version is going to be, then proceed to not buy it or give a shit just like they did previously.
