Maybe so they can exceed expectations but yes it does seem very odd.
Undoubtedly there are some changes as a result of shortages of staff or products but hopefully this isn't one of them.
Do you have a link to the reduced menu ? It's much smaller than the ones shown here (from the Cunard website this morning) and recent passengers haven't mentioned a reduction.

Oh dear, when do you need it for travel?
I didn't get much chance to explore the area around Lake Vrynwy but I would love to go back, maybe for longer than 24 hours next time.
Sorry to hear about your flight difficulties. We've just back from a lovely afternoon at a friend's. It's supposed to be getting very warm on Monday and Tuesday but not as warm as some parts of England.
