In this case, it appears that the intent was to imply that Supercharging would be too negatively impacted by commercial usage (paid for or not) to continue to allow it while at the same time providing the service desired for the customer base as a whole.
Agreed.
Which then means currently Tesla offers no new purchase solution for long-distance commercial driving at all, unless you consider Level/Type 2 and CHAdeMO a solution, which I would assume nobody outside of Japan would.
CCS is needed to enable commercial long-distance driving for BEVs, Tesla Supercharger is no longer a solution for that. Policy changes such as this (or relying on goodwill exceptions) make it too unpredictable for that anyway.
The other alternative is to conclude Teslas can not be used for long-distance commercial driving (e.g. travelling salesmen, chauffeurs, car rentals etc.) at all.
