I think that for the most part, this is the physics for those who haven't taken high school physics.
Physics 1B03 requires high school grade 12 physics, but you can take this instead to fill this prerequisite.
It's a brand new course coming out this year, so nobody knows anything about it.

No, it's not a substitute for 1B03.
Many science students need to take physics 1B03 and 1BB3/1BA3 (1B03 is a prereq).
They cannot do that, as a prerequisite physics 1B03 is High school gr12 physics OR PHYSICS 1L03. And a prerequisite for Physics 1L03 is only high school gr12 calc.

Having taken physics 1L03 you can't take physics 1BB3/1BA3, so it's not a substitute for those who need 1B03 and 1BB3/1BA3 for their courses or program. So those without high school physics have no choice but to take 1L03 to fulfill the prerequisite to take physics 1B03
That's the way I see it, am I missing something dondata?
