due to it being inverted by the Nazis? The argument proposed being that many visitors to japan for the 2020 olympics will mistake it and be offended.

No - people should read up on it for what it actually means before getting offended. Japan or any country shouldn't have to change anything to avoid offending tourists.

When you put it this way, it does sound pretty messed up.

Like this Buddhist symbol must have existed like a thousand years before that german party came along and stole the symbol.

It's not really "Japan's" place to say the manji "is over". I see what they're doing in the case of this story, changing the map symbols probably because they're sick of dealing with weird uneducated foreigners.

Yeah. It was brought up elsewhere this weekend in regards to Japan hosting the Olympics next year and will be receiving a load of visitors.
