Honestly, I just want my money back. The product I received is different from what I purchased, and I don't want my money going to support a studio with such immoral values.
"If we caught it originally, we would've removed it" is speculation too, of course, Obsidian would backtrack and make excuses to please their masters. For all we know, they saw, and liked it, but once they saw that it could cut into their profits, they pulled the plug.
If a company changing a product from what you purchased is, in all cases, a moral transgression in your perspective, then I frankly don't know if you can buy any PC games. Fixing typos, fixing bugs, rebalancing stats or abilities, optimizing graphics—any of these and more would fit your definition of changing the product you purchased. What if a missing NPC or item is added back in? What if a new quest is added?
Perhaps your objection is that content was removed and replaced. But what if a gun that was mis-categorized as a bow was fixed? One of the game's bows would've been removed and replaced with a gun. Would this fit your definition of a moral violation? What if an NPC was appearing in the wrong map? Fix that, and an NPC has been removed from a town. So that's out too. What freedom does Obsidian have to correct mistakes (in their judgment) in their product? Is the answer truly "none"?

A lot of sensible suggestions, but the one I agree with most is #1. I really prefer games where I can name my save files, but sadly this feature is becoming less and less common.
