Besides, the earliest ones are very short one-night-stands, so they're quickly filed on the bookshelves rather than in the TBR pile.

One good reason for reading in published order is because you will understand the later book better. For example, in
The Colour of Magic we first see the luggage and get to know about it. In
Eric we again see the luggage but we don't get any background or real info about the luggage. So it makes a better reading experience having read about the luggage beforehand.
