   1. Register preview requires users to hit an additional enter key.
      2. people who work by muscle memory find that extra key introduces
         friction.

         Conjecture to be verified --

         People who look at the preview -- even if they just glance at it
         -- are not the ones who work by muscle memory --- AKA  if you
         are used to hitting C-x r s a and continuing, you likely will
         not see the preview.

Before, you would have a delay .. so if you waited for 1 second (I
think that was the default); you'd get the preview.  Still not
breaking the standard behaviour, and in a sense useful if you forgot
what register was what -- you'd just wait for a bit and be presented
with the preview.  So I think your conjecture is false that it is just
a matter of "muscle memory".  Not to mention that you forget that this
breaks recording keyboard macros.
