Well... they can do that to inquisition. Same with assassins.
But Grey knights was an actual codex. A completely stand alone army in 5th before all this allies things broke out and them not caring that you need to buy 3 books to field your old army.
But you are 100% right that this "release" almost doesn't warrant a hard cover book. It's slightly outrageous. I play this army as my main army... I'm generally positive about what GW does. But this is just a downright dirty move they pulled. They demoted a previously fleshed out codex to something that's almost "doomed" to become a consideration for allies... and that's about it.
If you are not a GK player, you might find it hard to empathise. But just imagine that they removed all Stormtroopers from the full IG book... And then stuck them in codex: Militarum Tempestus.
Can you still field them? Sure... Is it cool that all imperial players would have acces to stormtroopers now? Sure... Would it be a dick move to pull on al IG players? Hell yes! You'd have to buy several books to keep playing with your old army.
