How is this a tough one? What I mean by that is that any marketing & comms person worth their salt would have prevented this employee from ever making this statement in the first place.

The statement is bad but the underlying choice not to fix it probably won't change. If they do fix this it's likely because of the PR backlash rather than because fixing compatibility with a very old API is important.

Tbf fixing compatibility with a very old API might become important _because_ of PR backlash.
