Visual Studio Lite benefits - without Azure Credits and Keys

Honestly: the fact that in all the communication and announcements Microsoft refuse to call it what it is: a significant downgrade in value - makes me almost more angry than  losing the benefit itself. Saying no, no, there is no loss as we added value X and value Y is ridiculous. First of all it doesn't add up in raw numbers and secondly having e.g. the "benefit" of 35 Dragon Copilots Licences in every package and calling it an adequate value add is like taking the best knive of a chef and giving him a stethoscope instead. There would have been a middle ground. E.g. we never used all the Visual Studio Enterprise Licences and I didn't assigned it to all of my team just to have all the licences assigned. I was always hesitant because I knew you have to be careful e.g. if a member of our team is misunsing the licences there could be a potential problem losing the partner status all together. So a good middle ground would have been to reduce the total number of Visual Studio Enterprise licences. But having no way to build up a lab environment - be it on premise or on Azure - for partners is problematic to say at least. Yes. I do understand, you can also buy the MSDN package for the team members which need the ability and for at least two team members of my staff there will be no way around but  buying additional licences and adding yet another few thousands to our MS costs. But at least stop telling us that your intend was instead to add value. That's not the way communication works in a healthy partnership based on mutual respect.
