I'm also almost certain that Disney makes obvious, controversial decisions for the free marketing that comes from outrage. The common sentiment is that Disney does race swapping and alters source material in ways to pander to a very loud and righteous 2-dimensional audience, but I'm pretty sure they're really trying to antagonize the opposite audience, who will tweet angrily and start an online flame war that is free marketing for the movie. And it kind of works, for example all the controversy around Snow White is the only reason I've heard of it.
