DAL:Why in the world would anyone complain?
The list was originally more static. Now, instead of the same 20 books, they change the list.
DAL potentially people raised concerns because they already owned all twenty books on the static list. This is still a problem with the narrower list of 10 rotating books. If this was the reason for complaints then I don’t think a narrower list was the best solution but that is FL’s call.
For me over the last few months I haven't really been interested in any of the choices. But I have picked one just so that I don't lose my free book. I would much rather have two free originals books. I just don't care for the "classics".

Since we're each only allowed one per month, why even bother with a selection rotation? Why not just make them ALL available every month?

That is simply too logical. Are you trying to put someone out of a job and making life too simple?

Because then we'd never buy any of those books, and Faithlife would lose money. By restricted our choices, we're still getting something worthwhile, while Faithlife protects another revenue stream. Restricting choice is win-win (if somewhat weighted in Faithlife's favour).

Most months I couldn't find a book that I was really interested in even when there were 20 choices. I ended up picking "the lesser of 20 evils" to borrow a common phrase.
I'm simply not find their offerings fitting my needs.

I agree with this. I do not understand the rationale or who they listened to...but all books should be available each month, not a limited number
