It’s in fact better, because the one with the new asset can actually play and not be totally frozen at loading and/or suffering lag and being kill in action.

Progressive rolls out is the key to happiness

It's an online game. You can't play the game with outdated assets. 
You'd not see walls where other players would, for example.

What you're suggesting is the ability of ISPs to market Internet access 
at a certain speed but not have to deliver it based on conditions they 
create.

It’s actually worst. You can’t even login without having latest version to play multiplayer.
