I'd even suspect that you're right that part of why they wanted to be looser with typing is that it's easier to show that not all creatures of a given name are a monolith. But they don't need to confess this to the public as if they're apologizing for something. There's a lot of design influences they don't talk about. It's not nefarious. The monsters are not being switched out of humanoid. In the video, it is directly stated that the new typing doesn't affect creatures already in the game. Humanoid goblins are part of the game. The edition refresh is showing that fey goblins are ALSO part of the game. If you've got a problem with what's actually happening, that could be an interesting thing to chat about, but if you've just got a problem with imaginary consequences and unstated motives, then you are inventing a reason to be upset. Touch some grass, pet a dog, and consider what your real problems might be.</blockquote>
