Same here (although they didn't opt out, just were never asked). Regardless of how ingenious an in-story explanation is for their change in appearance everyone will still just be sitting thinking "yeah but they're just fat and old now aren't they? That's the reason" It was cringeworthy enough in that Davidson/Tenant mini-episode (which I otherwise enjoyed)
I can understand people thinking their absence is a big two fingers up to the fans and the idea of the anniversary but I honestly think their inclusion would be really jarring.
