No, it really, really isn't
Using AI to generate content would be an "odious business practice". Stealing work from third-party creators would be an "odious business practice". Giving players more options in settings based on popular IP, which individual tables can take or leave as they choose, does not remotely qualify
Active characters:

Oh I agree! I used those words only because that's the conclusion that some have jumped to (Star Wars?! This is the end times of D&D as we know it!!). Maybe the word 'odious' was a bit too strong in hindsight but the point still stands.

And plenty of us - me included - are fans of both. And yes, while bringing newcomers to D&D is an admirable goal for any product, there are in fact others. For example, maybe working in these IP will provide creative juice/energy to the devs that the standard D&D settings haven't in a while, or just new perspective. Maybe they have a sizeable contingent of current customers who don't purchase everything they put out, but for whom UB will prove to be more enticing than yet another FR book. Maybe the added marketing reach (Blizzcon is this weekend) makes it easier to justify the dev time they'll spend on things like revisiting 5.0 subclasses such as Swashbuckler via this book. The point is that these sorts of arrangements are never just about one singular benefit.
I've seen people already panicking about Swashbuckler being "locked" to WoW, AL-wise.
I'm pretty sure that it was mentioned alongside the ones that weren't "locked".
