Pre-baked where exactly ? You can't exactly pre-bake when you have a day and night cycle but according to their GDC presentation it says their using DYNAMIC Global Illumination but I won't deny that they could be using some sort of pre-computation like Quantum Break does ...
1. I'm pretty sure we were talking about the in game graphics so it's pointless to argue about map design ...
2. Does it matter ? Smoke or other participating media can still receive lighting. What makes car lights or any other generic spot lights in the game so much harder to handle ?
3. Wind is not absent from release as it is in the graphical options and how would you know that the smoke is lower quality ?
4. Draw distance ? I know that both are pretty high and if you stop at 1:39 you'll see some buildings occluded by the fog so I'm not exactly sure what basis you have to say that it's been lowered ...
5. Lens flare is still in the game, just find a strong light source to activate it ...
6. What fuzzy haze ? You mean the ambient occlusion ? BTW there's still projective shadow maps in the final build from the frames 2:16-2:18 on the left, you just have to find the right lighting conditions ... 
7. Your point is ?
8. Nope, the fence only partially occludes the view but if you look hard enough you can still see the distant buildings ...
