WP Engine is not WordPress

Automattic's own managed WordPress platform severely restricts features all the way up to the top plan. I guess it's okay for them to do it.

edit: I am referring to WordPress.com which is the offering comparable to WP Engine.

I think you need to give more context.

I’ve been a WP VIP customer at various points and I don’t think this is true as a general statement.

It really depends on context.

I think they are referring to WordPress.com.

Cannot upload own themes or plugins at WordPress.com

Also there has been issues for years when trying to move away and transfer __your__ domain to another provider.

You can, just not on the free plan, or the two cheapest paid plans.
