It should be noted many of those rule changes were either negotiated with the MLBPA or at least required its approval.

That started in 2012 as part of the new CBA.

This doesn't make sense as stated.
Games which would previously have been a 'no game' because they were called before becoming an official game, were replayed from the start. These now become a suspended game instead — this echoes the much wider range under which minor league games can be suspended.
