In the end Larian is a subcontractor of Hasbro

That's not at all how it works, no. They have a licensing deal with Hasbro to be allowed to make a game with Hasbro's IP. Hasbro didn't hire them to make the game.

who’s preparing their own ‘virtual tabletop’ for a while now.

D&D Beyond is not a video game. It's not even a toolset for a video game. There's no clash there.

I always suspected it’s not because they won’t, but they can’t due to the licensing issues

This is probably still true, though: according to the release, you won't be allowed to publish NSFW mods made in the toolset (because apparently that's legally too close to Larian making D&D porn) even though you'll still be allowed to do so NOT using the toolset like people have been doing for months.

I'm guessing that not letting people make or change maps and quests is either the same thing or simply just a much bigger undertaking to make a toolset capable of right now 🤷
