If your home airport does not offer Pre, then the value of your Pre membership has just been halved.

The product has to be consistent and reliable for more people for it to reach the enrollment TSA wants.
I flew out of SAN about 50 times last year, and with the exception of the 1, 1a, 2 Southwest gates, have always received full pre-check. I think OP had a weird one-off.
