I think you are misinterpreting Lufthansa's statement!
Aegean has not pre-announced "loyalty programme changes", so there is no question of Aegean postponing loyalty program changes. (The current program is only about 6 years old)
In November 2019, it was announced that the Miles & More programme would be redesigned, starting from 2021. It was already announced last May that, due to the pandemic, those changes have been suspended. At the moment, the website states that these changes will not be introduced until after 2022.
This has nothing to do with automatically extending status, or suspending automatic downgrades of status
At the time of writing, Lufthansa's status members are expected/required to qualify/requalify for status in 2021.
They recently announced that double status miles will be given for all flights on the Lufthansa family of airlines for all of 2021, effectively halving the targets required to qualify/requalify if you stick exclusively to those airlines.
