Valve has made it so that the community can no longer run 128 tick servers during the CS2 Limited Test, which has many in the community upset. In this video...
Why can’t we have the sub tick system implemented in 128 tick servers? I assume Valve wants 64 tick servers because it’s cheaper to host, but if you want a 128 tick serve, why not combine that with sub tick for even better accuracy of events.
smoke lineups are different on 128 tick vs 64 tick
The last point is really annoying with CS:GO since I have to learn different smokes and have to remember for which tickrate they are. Since the physics are calculated tick by tick, it’s difficult to make smokes the same on different tickrates.

The events that are sub tick (not all are) aren’t more precise with 128 tick, since they are already time stamped with the exact time.
128 tick still has advantages for game feel and things like peekers advantage. Altough the latter is mostly down to each player’s ping in the match.
The 4 reason’s I’ve gathered why Valve probably doesn’t want 128 tick servers are:
