So I've been wondering: For the people saying Netflix was the one pushing the revisions to Roald Dahl's books, though I have not seen compelling evidence it is so: If Netflix was the driver of this, why would only the British editions be edited? Netflix is an American company. Wouldn't it make sense to start with the editions here?

I still say, these revisions were pushed by the trust or whatever entity The Roald Dahl Story Company is and those changes were pushed on the local, UK editions of the books.
