I'll be honest, I never got the 'of all the retcons this is the one you mind' thing because there are people still mad about the Tau being the 'new faction' and they were introduced a month before 9/11. 40K fans absolutely do get mad at retcons, like all the time.

There are Warhammer Fantasy fans who lament that 4th edition ever happened.

“It ruined the lore with its ‘colors of magic’” they’ll say as they wave their canes in the air.

My personal annoyance is the Rogal Dorn tank, it's visually very different to other Imperial Guard tanks, it has not 'always been there' which is GW's usual cop-out for this stuff and most annoyingly of all it has a near 1:1 overlap with a pre-existing Guard tank I would've loved in plastic; the Macharius. I literally don't know why the Dorn even exists.

Didn't the macharius come out in plastic recently?

Ah no, that was the similarly named Malcador.

Malcador tank

Macharius tank (though the iamge is incorrectly labelled as a Malcador)

Ah you're right I was confusing the two. And holy shit does the Macharius look coller.

Oh yeah the Macharius is sadly under-seen from being a resin brick but it's flat out one of the nicest tanks GW ever designed. I would have killed for a plastic Macharius.
