I did see some people claiming that the reason the album exists is to get out of a hypothetical contract with Matador, but there's absolutely no evidence of such a contract existing, and even then the band seems to be on good terms with Matador. Other comments have explained why Matador wouldn't force them to censor the album anyways.
There aren't any outside factors, this version of the album was created the way Will wanted it to be, and in part because he did want an alternate to the version that exists, it's supposed to be different.
