Nothing last minute or 'appease the casuals' as you put it.
It's speculation. You can't prove that he meant it was to be removed as his statement only alluded to it being changed in some way. And I also can't prove that it was last minute. However, it's still obvious that both the moves I mentioned were designed with Cleric Stance in mind. They literally synergise brilliantly with the old iteration of it.

And lol it was definitely to appease the casuals, whether you agree with it or not. This entire expansion gutted most jobs for the casuals. Good healers were never limited by Cleric Stance, it's the overwhelming majority of questionable ones that couldn't handle it.
