Two different companies. One is DNDBeyond, one is Smiteworks (Fantasy Grounds). Of course they planned this all along - it's the identical policy both companies have always followed for new books. The only people ever claiming they would REPLACE the content is the batshit crazies here who don't even fucking play 5e or even have DNDBeyond or use Fantasy Grounds with 5e. It was always stupid to think they'd GIVE AWAY FOR FREE the new content (with replacements) rather than charging for it like the normal businesses they are!

This is slightly disingenuous I think.
The Tasha's class changes to races & classes appeared in my D&D Beyond without me having Tasha's enabled, confusing players. The Volo's changes to monster descriptions were done Ministry of Truth style, without any option to see the old version. So there is certainly precedent.

What you describe seeing there; with automatic changes being forced upon you, is flat out bull shit.  "You will be updated and assimilated!!!"
