I don't really understand this change. What's the reason for doing this? The reason stated in the article isn't really clear. Can you address it?

Sorry for the confusion about the viewer confusion (sigh) – the goal behind this change is to help ppl find the official channel of a creator (since the old badge only verified that you had >100k subs, but didn’t verify a channel’s authenticity). This update improves that.

But why for only the "celeb" creators? Why no way to apply for it? Only there for who YT see as important enough. This is making creators feel unimportant and then proving it because they can no longer get verified? Waiting to see how this appeal process goes.
