Onboarding servers to MDE after September 2022

I work for a CSP, and unfortunately we've been receiving mixed messaging from Microsoft with the DforE Server license. Initially we were told (through Microsoft webinars, etc., Sept-Nov 2022) that any servers would need to be onboarded through Defender for Servers (Azure). But Microsoft are still sending us our monthly Price Files with DforE Server SKUs, so customer can still purchase this license. And of course for organisations who don't use Azure, they don't want to have to get an Azure Subscription set up, Azure Arc, learn about how Azure works, etc., purely to defend their servers. I have asked the question here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint/defender-for-endpoint-server-sku-is-it-still-valid/m-p/3726569 (no reply as yet) and also had our Support team log a ticket with Microsoft to try to get a definitive answer. My hunch is that initially Microsoft wanted to have servers onboarded through Defender for Servers, but due to the backlash (their 'Demystifying Defender for Servers' webinar is a case in point) they are re-thinking this approach. I could be wrong, but until we have a definitive answer from Microsoft, we're in the dark.
