If you didn't have to pay for it, people would play it to death while it's "free" and then not buy it when it's released
These aren't typical betas where you only have access to like 1 or 2 mp maps and you test an infrastructure etc. the game usually starts out with already a decent amount of content and then keeps getting more to the point where often the only thing that changes are a few balance tweaks and slight change in mechanics form the early access build to the final one
content isn't "locked out"; if it's playable, then it's accessible, no matter how rough/primitive. if a RTS race has been designed, it's playable. if a MP map has been designed, it's playable. they're "full" alphas and betas, unlike the kind of alpha and beta tests that we usually get with big games.
