So apparently, Funimation doesn't have the subbed versions of these shows, but all of the dubs remain on their site.

They commissioned the dub before it had aired, and I doubt they could just cancel it once it started.

Based on what one user over at CR reported regarding the dub at A Centaur's Life, it appears CR has the simuldub version, not the home video version of the dub.

I'm curious if it was part of the agreement that CR only gets the simuldub version, CR requested it for some reason (?), or Funimation is trying to pull a fast one.

Regardless of the reason, if this persists with other titles that have both a simuldub and home video version of the dub, CR users will be stuck with the inferior version. (Even for titles with no censorship, home video versions often have animation fixes).

I wonder about Testament of Sister New Devil and that wasn’t simuldubbed.

To compensate for all the Funimation titles their platform just lost, of course!

I'd say I'm shocked but I'm really not, this is Crunchyroll we are talking about.

huh i've been out of the loop so all of funi subbed/dub shows are now completely gone from crunchy roll and the two are doing their own thing? Oh well what can ya do? Regardless It's nice to see more dubbed shows being added to CR library.
