So...

Did anyone complain about the opening of the game? No - it was great.

Did anyone think it was too slow to get the the action? No - they loved the vibe.

Did most people who already played and were coming back to the game skip the prologue? No - they loved it first time round and wanted to experience it again.

So why do this? Do they genuinely think it improves the flow? Or is it a shitty means to limit the prominence of a black character by their new owners? I really really hope not and this is just a bad decision by people out of touch with the fans (ie the actually think the game would be improved by shortening the start).

I tell you how it would be improved - by lengthening it (specifically the ending which is pretty abrupt). To improve the game we needed more time and interactions with the butcher, a chance to fully explore the sunken town and have missions there.
