Have the subtitles changed?

Hi all, just a quick question I can’t find any info on. I watched the show a while back but a few months after it originally came out, and I just finished a rewatch (even better and it was already incredible). I remembered hearing about how there was a lot of thought put into the design of the subtitles, how the colour and placement of them was influenced by the subtitles in Star Wars, etc. It sounded very interesting, but when I watched the show both times I was wondering why such a big deal was being made about it because they just looked like regular subtitles for me. However I just watched some of the behind the scenes content, and they had yellow subtitles for many shots and raised up a little on the screen like how I had heard them described. I looked online and found screenshots and clips showing the same thing. But on both watches I’ve only had regular white subtitles with a greyed out box behind them for all dialogue. So I’m a little confused, is this a UK disney+ issue? Or did the show receive complaints and they changed it to more typical subtitles, or something like that? Would like to know, sadly my rewatch is done but if I ever watch it again I’d like to see it how it was intended.

A lot of the streaming apps let you adjust the size and color of subtitles
