Having not given Origin even a second thought (the first thought being "EA? Hahaha. Nope.") I suppose I'm more surprised they were willing to give away freebies at all.
According to that reddit thread though, it's not that On The House was -replaced- with Origin Access. It was simply removed with nothing gained, as Access was already a thing before they axed it.
I'm guessing the suits were sitting around a table wondering how they could possibly make Origin Access more attractive without losing a penny. "Hey, why don't we take away the freebies and make them a part of Access?! THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!!"
Well, nothing lost in my case, but I can't say I'm surprised they did this.
