This has been canonical to the setting since it was a Core. It's why every domain had a false history that people just blindly accepted, even if they predated the domain's creation--except for a rare few domains such as Richemulot that had no history and the Dark Powers made it so nobody native to the domain was interested in finding out why and that nobody from outside could learn anything. The Dark Powers also have fired darklords who got boring (Nathan Timothy, Lord Soth).New Ravenloft absolutely follows that paradigm. Things have changed because the Dark Powers want things to have been changed. They were probably bored with the Core. The end.Spelljammer didn't really change things, except for the hadozee's origins and some of the monsters like the reigar, who now only care about "the art of war" instead of art in general. Spelljammer just left all of the lore out.Which really puts forth the question: you don't like it when they change lore. You don't like it when they keep lore out. You clearly want everything to be the same all the time, everyone else's desires be darned. Why bother even complaining about the new books, since you can just stick with the old books?</blockquote>
