You do mix up with a different user,
each and everyone of my VSL libs are full paid copies.
And there's no chance that I would forget such a thing, since I'm not a professional and each cent I spend on a music library is a "lost investment" (if we exclude the fun of using it of course).
As for this new Pro Ed "example", and even though I would not have been in a situation to take advantage of it, this "no path policy" from Pro Edition to Opus was not logical either, or even fair, IMO.
I could give solid arguments to defend that position, but what's the use ?
I see things my way, you see them your way, and these 2 viewings are incompatible it seems.
So let's wait and see if your sales results say either SE owners are really massively tempted by SE+ under those "unfriendly" conditions, or if, albeit VSL libs' quality, they just get a little sick of this one way policy and choose other ways to expand their sound libs.
