… second paragraph of the article:

In addition to the basic plans getting Copilot rolled in, there are now additional "Basic," "Personal Classic," and "Family Classic" tiers without Copilot and "other advanced features" added for users who do not use AI in their workflows

Make the easy thing the better-for-sales thing, obviously.

But seriously, negative-approval has been a sales enabler for ever. People will often just roll over and accept it vs churning to something else. That's why 'loss-leader' works, as people will start with one product and sunk-cost fallacy will keep them from churning as the vendor tightens the screw.
