Abridged and various adaptations of books exist, as do things like Kidz Bop and CleanFlicks (or at least its derivatives). Not to say that this is or isn't good but I don't think it's weird that various forms of the same "work" exist and that some people prefer a modified one over the original. People have been willing to pay for this kind of thing for a long time. It's a little different now in that it's the original rights-holder doing it but money talks and why argue over fair use when you can do it yourself?
