That's not clear. The person quoted as having it happen to them posted that it happened the same day as the announcement of the non-bowdlerized versions, and the linked article was also published that day.

Does it really matter which came first? It doesn’t change the possible intent.

Yes? The publisher's intent changed when they decided to publish both copies. If they are unwilling to revert the change they pushed out, the op's claim of it being a money grab might be accurate.
