“The changes do not in any way reflect lowering standards of entry, rather they ensure that all those who meet the requirements to train to become a SEAL or SWCC are represented in the ethos or creed they live out.”

That really is true with the US military, and with the US government in general today. Read the news, and assume the opposite is true. This rule will never fail you.
