I see a bunch of confused grandmothers getting this set for their grandkids for Christmas, then the grandkids bursting into tears. "This isn't the one I wanted Grammy!"
The marketers know this, and they see dollar signs in their eyes.

To be honest, I'm surprised they explicitly stated not to buy it if you owned the previous release. Isn't it usually their goal to get us to buy every single release?

That's exactly what I found to be so hilarious about the article, the fact that it wasn't written in their typical "you must buy this product" format.
