What a weird article that's microanalysing language in Heroku's blog posts. I mean times are such that pivot-churn is becoming business as usual for most outfits these days so I wouldn't put any stock on C-Suite verbiage.

The blog author isn’t understanding it but it’s quite simple: the product only matters in the context of large enterprise customers. The large customers still get what they want as long as the ask isn’t too big and that’s why you see new features even though the product is in maintenance mode.
