I've always assumed (based on nothing, really) that Chibnall preferred the "Last of the Time Lords" gimmick, and took the opportunity to restore it.
And I get it, to an extent. But Moffat had spent a lot of time resolving that and bringing Gallifrey back, and I was looking forward to occasional Time Lord nonsense.
Yeah, the Time Lords were safely tucked away in their pocket universe at the end of time or whatever, they weren't going to pop up all the time anyway. The Doctor would still call themselves "the last Time Lord", even if the Master, the Rani and the Monk were standing next to them...
