Low and behold? This suggests to me that you're surprised.
But, this fits exactly in the road map as was officially announced.
12th April... meaning they just only started!!! Please read the official anouncements instead of basing your thoughts on make-believe, false hopes and wrong information and rumours.
Again, stuff like this is not done by flipping one switch overnight!!!!
So I don't understand why it is so difficult to understand that, and why people still insist in believing in fairy tales and/or jumping to conclusion, after official announcements have already explained most of it. On the other hand, it are posts exactly like some here in this thread that still make people believe they can stop this.
Petitions and the likes are not harmful in the literal sense but they do create serious false hope, not to mention fairy tales, and it is putting wrong ideas in people’s heads (eg: that the complaints help because some can still log in into Messenger). Many posts on this and other forums are the proof of that.
TReKiE has made a nice blog post about this, including links to the official announcements:

I very strongly suggest to all to read this (and the links of course) before jumping to conclusions like "
MS has reconsidered because I can still log in on 12th April".
