I think that's mainly down to those mega-huge games usually having preorders, and small indie game usually not, for whatever reason. Neither Deltarune or Silksong could be preordered so everyone was zerg rushing the stores at the same time.

Especially with the ballooning size of installs, pre-ordering and pre-loading a 100GB+ game could be the difference between playing same day vs the next.

Note how Silksong is a decently small 7-8 Go.
