Because that sort thing only happens in the movie industry.
Well it doesn't but it's certainly more talked about when it comes out of that industry
Gee, I wonder why?
I'm just very skeptical that for a movie whose main selling point is "director's original vision" and a studio trying to score PR points for "respecting artistic integrity" it would make much sense from a marketing perspective at the very least to have one of those bonuses be "oh, by the way, here's how we messed with that vision."
Not saying it's not possible that WB might own their part in the kerfuffle and just go with it, but since Snyder indicated he'd like to release a B&W version as well there's likely already going to be another alternate take in that set which won't be short for content so it just looks like it might be tempting to gloss over why this exists in the first place.
It's actually fairly common for director's-cut releases to include the theatrical cut for comparison, at least in the deluxe sets. I've seen it done in several cases, including Ridley Scott's Legend, Alex Proyas's Dark City, and most relevantly, at least one release of Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. And I don't see that many movies on disc, so there are no doubt far more examples than I can recall offhand.
After all, the main selling point of a director's cut is that it's an alternative to the primary version, a chance for viewers to see how the director's original "vision" differs from the official release. So it makes perfect sense to include the official release to make it easier to compare the two. The idea that they'd want to suppress the comparison, to pretend the theatrical version doesn't exist, makes little sense. Especially in this case. The Snyder Cut is not replacing the theatrical Justice League. The theatrical version is still the canonical one in the DCEU. The official line, so I've heard, is that the Snyder Cut is an "alternate universe" version.
Again, nowhere have I said that. There's no universe in which there won't be thousands of comparisons being made in articles, youtube videos, in discussions on forums like this one and pretty much everywhere else imaginable well before this ever hits physical media.
All I'm saying is from the way this thing has been marketed so far I'm leaning towards no, but we'll see.
Marketing rarely stresses bonus features. They're secondary by definition. You often have to dig to find out what's even included among the extras. So the marketing doesn't prove anything.
They've released a DVD/Blu-Ray set of Blade Runner, which contained 4 different versions of the movie, the Final Cut, the theatrical cut, the international version, and the director's cut.
Fuck that why does that movie have so many versions?
I think it's basically because the theatrical version was changed without Ridley Scott's approval, and in ways that weakened it. When the rough-cut "workprint" version had an unauthorized release that was well-received by audiences, it prompted a new edit that was touted as a Director's Cut, but it wasn't really, as it was done by others with Scott's blessing. But Scott wasn't satisfied with that version, so he then did his own version know as the Final Cut.
There are also a couple of other cuts made for different markets, the international version and the censored commercial-TV version. But those are normal for most films, or at least they were back when it was still common for movies to be shown on broadcast TV.

I've seen BR many times but what could they possibly censor it wasn't that bad, that I remember
Paging Dr. Freud.
I've never seen the final cut. I have owned the director's cut for years. What are some of the differences?
Geez is that all?
Darryl Hannah was pretty damn fit in this movie she had moves

Zhora was played by T'Pol's mom, Joanna Cassidy.
If you're gonna drool over tits, at least drool over correct ones.
I was referring to Pris played by Darryl Hannah. She had moves
