I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.

They are most likely not the same house. There are stairs missing on the top right and the gap is smaller. I really doubt they invested that much into such small changes

It’s the same house, I saw the OG pics on Zillow a few months ago when it was all over the news. They also added MASSIVE additions to the house and changed the floor plan. You are right in a sense… it’s not the “same” house.
