Read the post again.  The primary goal is to sell you Exchange Online.  Under-funding and under-staffing the on premise product are ways to move toward that goal by worsening the experience so you want to go Exchange Online where everything is roses.  We're lucky that there's even going to be an Exchange Server in 2026.  It's clear that Oct 14 2025 was meant to be the death of the on-premise products and someone got talked down from that standoff.  Why else would Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019 have the exact same end of support date?
