Absolutely no surprise at all.

Not just the 'Politically Correct' idiocy, but also the moving to the 
Disney+ subscriber-only channel. In places like New Zealand (if it was 
ever included in the almighty ratings numbers anyway) where Doctor Who 
used to be broadcast on a free-to-air TV channel, they've now lost a 
huge number of even potential viewers because people simply don't want 
/ can't afford to subscribe.

No doubt the move was mainly based on the massive "bonus" the idiot 
managers in charge got for making the stupid decision.
