One reason LSAC has given for making it 3 sections, not 5, is the need for bathroom breaks and related test security issues with folks leaving the room.(Other reasons include increased proctoring time and the increased likelihood of Internet/tech issues the longer the exam goes.)
I understand the feelings of unfairness, especially for those who took the 5-section exam being compared to those taking the 3-section LSAT-Flex. 3 sections at home is probably a more pleasant test-taking experience, but there are downsides, too (like knowing every question counts and that each is worth more).
LSAC is only offering LSAT-Flex out of necessity (at least for now). It's clearly not an ideal solution, but it's the best they can do at the moment. And although their communication could be better, I've got to give them credit for rolling this out so quickly.
