I think it's to guarantee that everything cooks evenly and decently according to the time that is given to you.
If you put it in directly something that takes 10 minutes may take 20 but you don't really know how long it will lactually take.
I believe that it's about consistency o algo asi yeah

depends on what you're cooking. it's fine for some things like if you're just throwing vegetables in there until they are roasted
for things like baked goods it is important to have control over the temperature, and you don't have that if you introduce a gradient from 0 to 400

so you can have a consistent cook throughout the time it is in the oven, it only really matters for meat and baked stuff like >>18047527 said

some food needs the time and temperature to be precise

made up by zog dw to much about it

i put my food in the oven before it preheats and it cooks fine

literally made up to make goyim lose precious time

They dont know how long it takes for your oven to get to a certain temp so its easier to give instructions with preheating since some ovens get to 200°c in 5 minutes and others in 15 minutes

If know how fast ur oven heats up u can just ignore preheating and add a few extra minutes of time to offset it as long as the food ur baking isnt temperature sensitive
