developers were asked to remove a specific flag from a presentation video for "looking too much like the LGBTQIA+ flag," in order "not to offend."

Well, they failed. Because that offends me.

But why buy a studio known for inclusive storytelling, presumably to profit from it, and then kill the thing they're known for? Or was this an investment in culture war?

    EA bought BioWare well before this new managment (Saudis) jumped in. EA used to not care because inclusivity was just another way to sell a game, thus BioWare could be gay as fuck. Now there's a conservative slant to it and BioWare is (even when they're making bad games) an incredibly gay studio so this was just bound to happen.
