Hello Neil,

suggesting that it would be nice if these changes were offered to us as
a new layout which we could accept or not instead of suddenly appearing
after an upgrade. Then we could check them out and decide to go with
them or opt to stay as we were.

I used to think like that, too.  The thing is, at what point do you stop
supporting the "old" stuff?
You stop supporting it when its usage drops below a certain point. Alternatively you drop the new stuff if its not picked up. Change for changes sake is a pain in the proverbial - as is adopting every new illegible style that some pushy tosser has managed to get implemented despite there being a 20 year history of people pointing out how inaccessible it is.
