Probably because there are babies in existence in some player saves and to prevent any chances from completely ruining the save. It’s probably easier to add the new lifestage
I think you are right. I think changing the object babies to sims would have been too buggy. They would have to 'convert' all cribs to sims across every save for every player, even if people open old saves months after the patch. Same for families saved to the gallery.
Actually freeing babies would have been a better principle but probably impossible or too complex to execute. So we got the next best thing.
In this regard I am surprised that newborns get an update too. I didn't think that would happen any more.
