nintendo review embargoes are usually 2 or 3 days (as do most other games)
you have to write a 500 word letter to furukawa on why you're canceling the pre-purchase and he has to approve your reasoning.
Thing they're still in court in...Sweden? For this. Not sure, but they were definitely sued/charged.
They won that lawsuit against them regarding digital game refunds. There is a pending appeal.

Sony has allowed cancellation of pre-orders for a while now, i think they canged their policy on this in April or May 2019. You can cancel a pre-order up to the release date, or within 14 days of purchace if you've bought it very close to release date (like if you've pre-ordered something 7 days before the release date, you can cancel the order 14 days from that date, so you can cancel the order even after the content has been released). You cant cancel the pre-order if you've started downloading the content however, including pre-loading (that usually doesnt happen before a few days before the release date, but still), so this aspect can be improved upon.

Basically zero. So there's still a risk in a pre-order. But at least they don't take your money months away from getting your game I guess
As Doctor Phishshoe mentioend above, EU law says you can return most products within two weeks of purchase. This only applies if you've bought an item online or over the phone etc., and it doesnt apply if sealed media (software and movies) has been opened. I also dont think it applies to digital content once the download has started, because then you have technically opened the product. The seller has to inform the buyer about this though.
Sony do allow cancellation of pre-orders too.
It's not sadly, the law says that they can do it as long as they inform the customer that the moment of the purchase, they let go of their right to refund. And that's what they do. It's in the terms when you make a purchase.
