Office 365 Family is going from 6tb (1tb per user) to 2tb shared total.
Now I have to coordinate with my family and discuss the use. How is this even privat? Now I will know how much everyone uses and it is a big cut from previous total. Why this cut?

"More flexible" would be 6 TB of shared storage instead of 1 TB per person.
Going from a potential 6 TB total to 2 TB shared isn't just a flexibility improvement; it is a reduction in included storage. Those are two different things.
If Microsoft had converted the existing 6 TB into a shared pool, I would call that flexibility. Reducing the total capacity by two-thirds and calling it flexibility feels misleading.
