I dunno man. That is called editing. There's too much involved to just bluntly say that.
The movie Clerks originally ended with the clerk, Dante, being shot. Smith removed the original ending after early complaints from critics. Smith called that a decision that saved his career.

I hate changes that are made just to satisfy the PC crowd.

At least in books, I don't think that happens much. The Dahl changes have been pretty roundly criticied from all sides. I haven't seen any serious defense of the changes.

I have purchased a number of books from authors after the rights reverted, and they put back or redid stuff that had been changed for the released print version.
(And some, just got their writing wind and, realize their early stuff was pretty weak. )

Yeah, I have a fantasy series called Stone Dance of the Chameleon where the authr took his old, OOP trilogy and rewrote it as seven slimmer books
David Wingrove did that with his Chung Kuo books as well.
