This game has to appeal to more than just the hardcore tabletop crowd. Their biggest mistake however is *admitting* they're doing it at all. That's going to cost them. It immediately pisses off the purests, while making the regular players feel cheated when things come together for them.
It does -- I've personally only got the 5e starter set (which I really haven't much played yet, and only have limited tabletop experience mostly from The Dark Eye and a selfmade system from the late 90s/early 2000s. :P
Anyway, they've also said that they intend to offer "loaded dice" for conversation checks. Looks like collecting any data isn't "needed" anymore.
