    D&D 5E (2014) Let’s Read Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse.

    Because I think the other variant race statblocks had a strong enough theme that they could stand alone without the specific flavour they had before. "Drow that turns into a spider" and "drow magic assassin" are pretty cool ideas even if your drow don't worship a spider goddess who really likes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let’s Read Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    They don't have any connection to the Feywild mentioned in Monsters of the Multiverse. I expect this is a misquote or a mistake made during the interview. Goblinoids (and Changelings) are the ones whose origins were changed to explicitly fey.
