Pretty sure it was done to show more diversity in general.Was there ever a reason given why they changed the rhino scene? Were there negative stereotypes that I wasn't picking up on or did Disney just re-do it for the sake of giving the more of the ride a refresh?
More often than not, that’s the case with ANY change to an attraction. That’s one of the things fans tend to forget.If a first-time guest were to ride past the scene, they wouldn't have any indication it hadn't always been like that.

But what if they want something drastically different? A lot of fans didn’t like New Management specifically because it was so different. They couldn’t (wouldn’t) appreciate the difference was the whole point.Sure, but there are ways to update things that achieve that and also feel at-home and organic to people who already love the attraction. These Jungle Cruise updates (so far -- again, we don't know how the spiel may ultimately change the "story" of the ride) appear to strike that balance.
There have been other updates in the past (we can even go way back to something like Under New Management) that have not.

I’m fairly confident the new script is going to be begrudgingly accepted by fans because the classic jokes will still exist but they won’t want to like it because it’s any change. Then, in a year, no one will care.
Is there some other place showing more changes than what was in that link I posted? I didn't think they'd debuted any of the new script yet at WDW.I'm not a fan of what they did to the hippo pool (I think it's a bit too busy looking now), but everything else looks great. Script changes will get better as skippers get better at changing them/finding out what people think is funny in the new stuff
