I think it clears up a part of 5e that was intended from the beginning, but a lot of people misunderstood. You don't roll if your bonus isn't high enough to succeed and if you would automatically succeed even if you rolled a natural 1, you didn't need to roll in the first place.
Clearly it has lead to some confusion, but it's logical to not call for a d20 Test unless there's a chance of both success and failure.
I wonder about the interaction with letting everyone at the table try vs. just some, and how that plays out at different tables.
