Going through pre-clearance often seems to be more of a hassle if one is connecting from other airports, particularly in Europe.
I was surprised that Munich and Frankfurt were left off the list, with their large number of flights to the US. The way that Munich currently separates many US flights, it is actually one place where pre-clearance would likely not add to the hassle that already exists.
The three largest Scandinavian airports' operators want it, and their governments are already USG-kiss-ups on "security" matters.
The German government is in more of a pickle situation due to the USG-spying on so many innocent people in Europe and elsewhere. Thus their entering into a public agreement to have CBP Preclearance on German soil may not go over so well with large segments of the German population at the moment.
