Since then the pundits on the hill have been trying to shut down PreCheck except those who pay for it. And many people who pay for it are asking for the same. There are several existing threads on this subject.
TSA can't exclude people who haven't paid for it or they will never get all the enrollees they claim they need to make the program work "efficiently". The number they say they need is 25 million - they claim to have 5 million now.
