Sonic Boom is aiming at kids and people who have never heard of Sonic, so why not leave the real Sonic to the real fans, and give it a little twist.

Sometimes it's nice to try something different. I think that the reason some people can see Sonic as dark and edgy is because of the SatAM, and maybe Sonic Adventure 2. I can see the appeal of a more mature Sonic if done correctly (IMO Sonic Unleashed). I entered the series through Sonic Riders in 3rd grade, and personally can't see a 3'3" talking blue hedgehog with a penchant for chili dogs being "dark and edgy".
