Wow, what a cashgrab. I wish they'd just announce six already. We should totally buy Hasbro and carve out Wizards as a community

Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content

Serious questions:

Can you elaborate on this? Isn't D&D just a book of rules, which can be used to the letter or changed per campaign? How would anyone force players to switch to another ruleset? Are they SWATing sessions and confiscating old rule books?

Also to note that most online references that aren't illegal are on dndbeyond so if you want to look up rules it shows to first. You can always look in your book but that is much more work. There are other legit tools but will follow the companies lead. They did this already with one source books

DnDBeyond is a tool that you can use to play your campaign. It also has and offers the rule books but also campaign books digitally for your account.

So no, when you rely exclusively on the hardcopy books that you have to play the campaign, then this wouldn't really matter much to you. However, when they decide that you cannot use DnDBeyond to keep track of your campaign and characters and so on with a previous version then you would either need to convert to those new rules or not use DnDBeyond anymore.
