The biggest joke of this is we've all (their loyal users) been clamoring for months and months on end for Group level issue boards and now we get a slap in the face because they released it for EEP only meaning thousands of paying customers apparently are not paying enough to be able to link issues from two projects to one board like we've been able to do in Jira for months - it honestly makes me want to just switch to Github Enterprise and Waffle.io out of spite

Thanks for the feedback. Our goal of 10.0 was to release a version of group boards that serves the needs of large organizations. So we built the feature with multiple group boards in mind. We are considering bringing a version of group boards to CE as many of our users are telling us it makes sense for smaller organizations as well.
Please see below the ongoing discussion:

i was hoping someone would mention this. we have about 40 people using gitlab ee at work, we are a microservice heavy shop and we were really looking forward to group level boards.
this should absolutely be a feature in EES. i can't justify the $7,200/yr for just that feature, i'm sure my two product guys could, but the rest of the team is indifferent. apparently only organizations with 500 or more users can benefit from this feature.
FWIW I am working on a multi-group issue board for CE (I guess it will work for EE too).
Are you planning on offering that outside of the Gitlab CE codebase, or are you trying to get a MR approved into CE?
I've wondered a lot about whether they would accept MRs into CE which implement a feature that they ship in one of the EEs
