We should all be thankful for these scraps we have been generously given.

Yes as maybe it’d draw attention to the absurdity of the limits vs advertised speeds.

It’s similar to the security theater at airports. I personally dislike the entire TSA precheck concept specifically because it works so well. The lack of pain for frequent travelers has kept the entire system from being replaced with what’s now the TSA precheck process.

They did it for self preservation. To not repeat the situation where firemen run into Verizon limits which triggered a bad PR.

I think the point they were trying to make (and it's one I share based upon talking to operators in a few of the largest broadband networks in the US about their usage) is that the WFH crowd is not moving the needle in terms of driving traffic. Except for the 10th which was Call of Duty updates that did congest networks starting in the morning the peak is still post 5PM. Now with schools being closed that can certainly change and lead to what many broadband networks spot during spring break (peak coming sooner).
