And your point is completely wrong.

Obviously, we all know that musicals are often adapted, even reimagined, like Clear Day.

But you actually can't see the difference between Camelot - which changed lines and pulled ideas from the original book, while maintaining the plot, characters, and structure - to this show, which seems to have completely junked the book and written an entirely new one from scratch?

The word "adaptation" means to adapt something - to make changes, to revise and perhaps update. Not to throw it out completely and write something entirely new. That appears to be what has happened here, and if that's the case, the show should be retitled.

Again, this is not an adaptation - it's a new show.
