Please stop calling it "content."
And this is the beginning of a digital-only game. I can see how the maps and pre-gen encounters would be useful, but the more concerning aspect is the inclusion of player options as "content," which ties features on your character sheet to a subscription model. Your characters are becoming rental-dependent pieces of a corporation's data model.
You know, I have nearly 100% upgraded to BX, so why do I care?
The maps are cool, but I can get similar ones and use them for any game in Roll20. It is that subscription-dependent, "you will never own this" character-focused options and spells, which you know will be must-haves and filled with power creep, that trouble me. Over time, the best build options will be dependent on owning a "master tier," and the game will turn into a live-service, pay-to-win model.
Welcome to the world of rental content, 5E players.
This is why I play BX.
