The crux here is that the change has limited the way customers can license the product.

For on premises resources, this will now currently require also onboarding to Azure Arc (which can present it's own challenges).
If you have an NDA in place with Microsoft you should join the private community (Defender Customer Connection Program), where the options and future of this is being discussed in greater detail.

I know because of NDA you can't discuss this but I'm hoping that they are reconsidering forcing Arc to use these features. Azure Arc is nice and has many features but not everyone is willing to install this agent on all of their on-prem servers, maintain it, make their servers visible on cloud etc...
