That's a great open letter. I've been a Notion customer since 2019 and I'm still on a legacy plan ($4/mo if paid annually). 

I didn't even know this sort of thing was happening.

My annual renewal date comes up in a few weeks and I've been thinking of cancelling my Notion subscription anyway ever since I moved to Obsidian. Reading about this behavior makes it even more likely I will do so.

What’s happened to Notion is a sad yet predictable scenario of a business getting very popular while trying to do too many things outside of its core product. The core product suffers as a result, and now those things they invested in that nobody outside of the core team asked for ( mail, calendar and ai) need to be paid for, hence the bait and switch.
It will be interesting to see if they walk some of this back or double down on this strategy. In 2025 there are other options that do what its core product does.(Obsidian and anytype come to mind). Ultimately they have the most to gain from Notion fumbling the ball here.
