I'm not too keen on Simba's portrayal in Lion Guard, really. I don't hate it, and he has his moments, but it often feels as though this guy is a completely different lion.

But your points are spot on. I think most of the reason for changing him so much is to make him more suitable for the kids (like how Simba roars at Zazu in CWTBQ Bunga in Bunga and the King - I can't imagine him doing that in the movies, but I imagine that a lot kids found it hilarious).
