The article-- even the title-- says last call. Mojang changed the locks, and they're telling the subset of users they're about to throw away the only mechanism to swap keys from the old system. Any real-world analogy would illustrate the policy is incompatible with any sort of perpetual right of access. I actually think it's Microsoft taking the reputational hit.
That’s consistent with what I wrote but I won’t rehash. I agree Microsoft should take those hits. (Count me as one who wishes Mojang had never sold, for multiple reasons.)
