Checking https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/myAccount/default.mi now gives me the message "Your Elite Status is valid through February 2022" at the top of my profile. Definitely good news and I'm glad Marriott delivered.
I won't split hairs that they had to be forced to do the right thing by the entire industry doing it first; a win is a win. I'm happy.

If you think they are going to extend your Titanium status you are reading this wrong.

Did they modify the FN cert extension?
The new Letter from CEO only talked about the status extension, no mentioning of the certs.

Marriott might as well just take the hit this year and revamp some of the status levels and make it harder to make status but make status more meaningful.

But this isn't fair! I already earned Gold tier status the hard way 
Anyway I guess Bonvoy did the right thing by extending elites for 1 year.
While this extension might cause some members "shopping" around and try other non Bonvoy hotels when the virus issue cleared, I believe majority of members, me included, will stick to stay at familiar Bonvoy hotels.
(In fact I have planned to visit Bali and Singapore for stay at St Regis Bali and Raffles Singapore once travel resume)

Finally, Marriott. Thank you.
I'm LTE and it says 'Your Elite Status is valid through February 2022' for me also (then the LTE status message).
