It’s a recent change (27 aug 18) that makes reinstatement / renewal much simpler.

This appears to be a temporary provision, expiring in one year, so they are probably trying to smooth over some unintended consequence of recent rule changes.
While 14 CFR 61.199(d) does state that the requirements of paragraph 14 CFR 61.199(c) will expire in less than one year, it is worth mentioning that the OP was also pointing out the addition of the new paragraphs at 14 CFR 61.199(a)(3) which do not have a corresponding expiration date to utilize this additional new provision.
