What is "generously grandfathered" ?

I understand grandfathered= allowing existing users to remain on a plan no longer available for a period of time=promo to retain existing customers
But "generously grandfathered"? what does the "generously" mean?
Can I go back to my under $10 for disks and streaming? (because that would be Generous IMHO)
Or Because Reed lead with that are we supposed to feel gratitude for a few months of grace or other temporary respite from the increase?
Seeing as it's a calculated retention offer to soften the blow of the price change, is it generosity or just good business?

Generous--showing a readiness to give more of something, as money or time, than is strictly necessary or expected.

You'd still need the "grandfather" part to be "generously grandfathered." So if you left a plan, your grandfather is dead. Don't expect him to be resurrected.
