The motivation for the redesign is to put the "subscription required" stuff in our face, like putting the milk in the back of the grocery store. Before, Adobe Reader was friendly and free, now it's almost impossible to see what requires a subscription and what doesn't.
I'm guessing Adobe already has numbers on how many clicks on "subscription only" features lead to subscriptions (it's simple metrics). If that's working for them, we free users may just be SOL. In the end, it makes sense (no free lunch). I can't tell enough people I know about the revert feature. It's like opting out of spam.
