Nothing has been changed. The shorts still have five individual movie pages on the main Disney+ website (disneyplus.com). The disneyplusoriginals.disney.com website is just Disney's promotional page for their Disney+ original content.
The whole world considers this as a show instead of separate movies but just because Disney+'s system can't promote episodes separately and shows the episodes as separate entries, TMDb has to come in ruin integrations everywhere.
Maybe it's time the Contribution Bible is updated to introduce amendments like this. Just because a media is shown in a theater doesn't make it a movie. Just because a media is listed separately doesn't make those separate movies.

Disney+ can absolutely, 100% promote individual episodes. They've done it before with What If...?, The Book of Boba Fett, and Moon Knight. What If...? and Moon Knight are even still being promoted like that in the Marvel hub.

They are listed as movies because that's how they were released on Disney+. Being shown in a theater has nothing to do with it; episodes and seasons have a "Has this season/episode been screened theatrically?" for when they are.

We have guidelines for what can get added to TMDB and how to add it. For TV shows and movies released on TV networks (linear and streaming), we list them based on how the network released them, with a few exceptions: seasons should have two episodes at minimum, two-part TV movies (e.g. The Andromeda Strain, Bag of Bones, Leaving Neverland, Tiger) are added as TV shows, miniseries originally released as a movie (e.g. A Christmas Carol) are added as movies, and one-episode shows are added as movies.
We also list Forky Asks a Question as separate movies because that's how they were released on Disney+, despite IMDb, Wikipedia, and the Disney+ Originals promotional page listing it as a TV show.

No. They are listed as separate movie pages on the Disney+ official site.

Correct. All "I Am Groot" shorts are rated TV-PG on Disney+. Movies also use TV ratings.

In case anyone is counting points, even Marvel's website says it's a TV show: https://www.marvel.com/tv-shows/i-am-groot/1

Marvel is the production company, not the network. They also list Marvel’s Behind the Mask and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special as TV shows when the former is a documentary film and the latter is a TV special.
