Or am I confusing you with my confusing answer to this otherwise non-confusing thread??

I confused the issue and therefore confused you
IIRC, the change was made retroactively to remove CC posts from members post totals and not have new posts count going forward. This was independant of the 90/90 rule and, the goal, was to get rid of CC only posters using FT as a source for their business.
Those users may be gone now, and I can't see any reason they shouldn't count again for those meeting the access requirements.
