Normally it would take a couple of years or sets to have a copy or version of an existing card on a creature , artifact or land. There is a design space where you can move abilities of an artifact to a land for example like Sol Ring to Ancient Tomb or Call the Gatewatch to Arena Rector. 

Sometimes the effect is watered down or has a consequence. Now like I said it takes time for Wizards of the coast to decide on things like this because it would mean that having a creature version and sorcery version of a card means that you will essentially have 8 copies of that strong effect in a regular 60 card deck or 2 copies in the 99 of an EDH deck. 

Case in point is this guy right here which is basically the creature version of Adjusted Balance. Now with all the great new cards that they have been pumping out for Strixhaven (and there is really some powerful cards I am excited about). This seems like a lazy way of doing things. 

I mean someone probably said , how do we make Silverquill or even Monowhite stronger this time around? I know make 2  versions of the same card and release them on the same environment. Really no harm in that right? People can take care of this creature right? they can counter Adjusted Balance too.

Hooobooy. Wotc. There is a reason why you did not do things like this before. I don't know why you decided to do this now.
