This is because the people that drive those changes are leftists, and as I mentioned above, it is a general shift of the leftist ideology, from liberalism to wokeness. Liberalism requires limiting government intrusion in certain areas, while wokeness - as long as the government is woke - welcomes and requires it. Liberalism prescribes tolerance to diverse points of view, wokeness rejects it - anything that is not wokeness is deemed harmful and should be eradicated.
