At this point I've accepted that they don't know what they're doing and probably don't really care. With my LP from last year counting towards this one I'm already nearly halfway to ExPlat through 2/2027 anyway, so it evens out for me, annoying but sometimes things happen.

What will be more frustrating at this point is my suspicion that sometime in the next few months they will actually figure this out and adjust retroactively, forcing me to earn extra LP this year for status and milestones that I would've earned anyway.
