It is a valid assumption to compensate towards non natives.
maybe is also a sign that the test is less biased somehow

Just realized I missed your post in the chaos of last week.
Now that the dust has settled a bit - it looks like GMAT is becoming more quant-focused test, which is a plus for non-native speakers who do have a disadvantage when it comes to verbal proficiency.

Personally, I am happy to bid adieu to SC. Not that correct grammar and unambiguous expression are unimportant, but that some 700-level SC questions are rather elusive to get right (for me). When I took GMAT last year, I answered four verbal questions incorrectly, three of which were SC questions.
GMAT Focus Edition (with a perfect score at 805) is not necessarily easier, though. Data Insight section now features prominently with Data Sufficiency and Integrated Reasoning questions. For people who are good at Math, though, the change is advantageous.
GMAC reduces its cost by getting rid of AWA (and thus human graders). Test takers also save a bit money because the detailed performance data will be included with registration.
The test continues to be adaptive. The ability to go back and change answers (up to three questions per section) is a nice touch though we should not really change our current strategies.
The Focus edition is going online later this year. The current edition will be offered at least to the end of this year. No concrete dates yet.

One hand is cheerful as you pointed out sir.
However, my personal opinion, I believe it is not a 100% good thing.
As a student, person, scientist, or else is less important that you know a formula than you know a grammar rule MORE.
We have a speech via words, sentences, compositions, and even poems.
I appreciate their effort to move what, in the end, is the trend in our entire society: quant data, analysis of them, and implementation of data anytime and everywhere: think about for example the geolocalization on our smartphones: data, relativity theory, triangulations, and a crazy amount of data to drive you from your house to Costco.
We are becoming better and better in doing so, improving our quant skills but maybe less and less apt to write something good or understand the meaning of a sentence.
Just my humble and , maybe, off-topic consideration.
