I can't explain marketing decisions either, but there is some sense to not labeling the same product for different lines.
Glare is defined by cut off and I suspect these do not cut off much at all - like light coming out sideways. When using quartz, we'd look for a 30 degree cut off max - which means more the 30 degrees from the vertical and you couldn't see the source or reflector.
I understand the change was for the better, not to be the best, but with a little planning you could have probably gotten LED troffers that dimmed for very little additional cost, especially compared to retrofitting with something like the light pack.
Many - maybe most - LED troffers include the driver with 0-10 inputs but I'll warn you the low end performance varies and many do not fully cut off unless they have a relay in them just for low end cut off. Plenty of DMX to 0-10 analog devices available if you are so lucky and not expensive.
