No, they got greedy and decided it had to be PG-13 to try to sell more tickets. After watering down the content, it didn't do well as the rated R ones before it. Not that big a surprise when you're not blinded by dollar signs.

So they literally stamped a PG13 warning label on it, and people who went for R rated content were surprised and disappointed?

You say greedy, maybe they say attempting to expand the appeal of the franchise to a wider audience. It's economically advantageous for them, sure, but maybe they thought consumers would actually like it.
