I have a serious feeling this is all about dollars and cents.
Black Panther was a resounding success, and it is well documented that part of that was due to its appeal to the black community. The producers of 007 have a hunch they will be able to capture an entirely new demographic of followers if they cast him.
It makes sense from a business perspective. The Bond loyalists, which there are many, will watch every movie no matter who is cast in it. At the same time, they'd attract a new community of fans as well.
