The video doesn't really go far enough imo.

I like the bit about there being multiple versions in existence but it doesn't elaborate on what the 'technical challenges' are - presumably because they think fans wouldn't understand.

Also, I have no idea what "we have a moment in time opportunity" means.

Obviously it's all about brand protection and I have no issue with that. But they could explain it better I think.
