Shakespeare feels more like it's due to language drift and the changes are necessary to make it accessible.
The Roald Dahl fiasco feels more like editors out of 1984 making edits to control thoughts.
Or, without reading conspiracy into it, it feels like some current "writers" using someone else's name to push their views on how things should be. Whatever is going on they seem to be changing the story itself. I don't think language drift can be blamed, because it is an active, intentional act to change our language.
Or maybe it's just a bubble wrap the children issue.
This is why we each choose a book to memorize, just in case.
