This is an inevitable consequence of university privatization and the fees system: UK universities are dependent on overseas students to cross subsidize domestic students. The prestige of the degree is a valuable thing that can be sold. And since it's valuable, it's subject to being devalued by quietly substituting an inferior version.
The students get to go home to their own country with a prestigious UK degree, and the UK university gets to stay in business. The quality of the learning .. well, that's not in the financial reports, is it?
