Is Microsoft advertising their paid extended support as an option, or are they saying "buy a new machine"?

They likely ran the numbers and decide that it would be sub economic due to the small number of takers. Offering support for a very high that actually covers the costs + ROI would be laughable and just create negative PR.
You seem to misunderstand. I'm not asking "does this program exist". The program does exist. But it is de-emphasized in favor of "lolz just buy a new computer".
